Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2015 Emergency Management Baseline Assessment Grant (EMBAG) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered by FEMA, focused on strengthening how emergency management capability is defined and measured across the country. The central purpose of the program is to support the development of nationally recognized, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) certified standards for emergency preparedness and response, along with a companion assessment methodology that can be used to evaluate emergency management organizations at the state, local, and territorial levels. A key feature of the requested methodology is that it should include a peer review component and lead to an accreditation outcome, with the approach designed to work for emergency management organizations regardless of their size.
The program anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized under the funding activity area of Information and Statistics, reflecting the emphasis on creating standardized measures, evaluation criteria, and a structured assessment process rather than funding direct operational response activities. The listing is associated with CFDA number 97.131 (Emergency Management Baseline Assessments Grant).
Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The opportunity does not include a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The announcement was posted on June 12, 2015, with an application closing date of July 13, 2015, and it was archived on August 12, 2015. While the award ceiling and floor are listed as $0 in the source data, the opportunity provides an estimated total program funding level of $300,000 and indicates that one award is expected, suggesting the intent was to fund one project at roughly that scale.
