Opportunity Summary:
The FY12 Earthquake and Building Science Program Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 082 000 01) is a FEMA grant issued under the Department of Homeland Security as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement focused on earthquake mitigation and related building science work. The central purpose is to strengthen how the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) mission is carried out in practice by supporting outreach, stakeholder partnerships, and the implementation of NEHRP standards, products, and other activities that reduce multi-hazard risk and improve community resilience. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help move technical earthquake and building-science guidance into broader real-world use by engaging key audiences, building partnerships, and expanding adoption of risk-reduction measures.
FEMA anticipated making two awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $750,000. The listing is associated with CFDA 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium). The program also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs according to the terms set in the full agreement and applicable federal guidance.
Eligibility is extremely limited for this opportunity. FEMA specified that the only eligible applicants are FLASH and SCEC, indicating that the cooperative agreement structure is intended to support these two established organizations in carrying out specialized outreach and implementation work aligned with FEMA and NEHRP priorities. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, FEMA would typically anticipate a more active role in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on the funded activities to ensure they align closely with national program goals.
The opportunity was posted and created on August 10, 2012, with an original and final application deadline of August 27, 2012, and it was archived on September 9, 2012. For those needing access assistance with the full announcement at the time, FEMA directed inquiries to the GMD Systems Branch via the provided email contact, and referenced FEMA.gov for additional information.
