Opportunity Summary:
The FY2012 Earthquake Technology Transfer opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 12 MT 082 000 03) was a discretionary FEMA grant offered under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The activity focus fell under earthquake mitigation and was tied to CFDA 97.082 (Earthquake Consortium). FEMA listed an estimated total funding amount of about $565,000 for the effort.
The goal of the award was to strengthen earthquake loss reduction in the United States by supporting research, technology development, and the transfer of usable earthquake risk-reduction knowledge into practice. In practical terms, this type of funding is aimed at turning research and technical advances into tools, guidance, and policies that can be adopted by the people who actually shape building performance and community resilience, such as architects, structural engineers, planners, public officials, social scientists, and building code regulators. The opportunity emphasized a national, nonprofit technical earthquake society with a broad professional membership, reflecting FEMA's intent to work through an established organization that can convene experts, translate technical findings into actionable products, and help push those products into professional standards and real-world decision-making.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. FEMA identified the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) as the eligible applicant, indicating the award was intended for a specific national organization rather than open competition among many applicants. Although the notice referenced expected awards, the core description made clear FEMA proposed entering into a cooperative agreement with one national nonprofit technical earthquake society. The announcement also stated that cost sharing or matching was required, so the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project effort.
Key administrative details included a posting and creation date of August 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2012, and an archive date of October 7, 2012. FEMA did not specify an award ceiling or floor in the listing (both were shown as 0), which typically indicates those bounds were either not set in the summary system fields or were defined elsewhere in the full announcement. For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement, FEMA directed inquiries to the GMD Systems Branch via email (GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov), and the general reference link provided was FEMA's website (fema.gov).
