Opportunity Summary:
The FY2013 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP), National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (HSNTP/NDPC) grant opportunity is a FEMA-administered, discretionary funding program under the Department of Homeland Security aimed at strengthening the National Preparedness System (NPS). Its central purpose is to support the design, development, and delivery of training that helps jurisdictions build, sustain, and deliver the core capabilities tied to the National Preparedness Goal (NPG), which focuses on achieving a secure and resilient nation. A key theme of the solicitation is the "whole community" approach, meaning preparedness is framed as a shared responsibility that involves federal, state, local, and tribal partners rather than relying on any single agency or level of government.
The program specifically funds training efforts spanning all five preparedness mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. In practical terms, this means the funded training is intended to improve readiness for a wide range of threats and hazards, from preventing and protecting against incidents, to reducing risk before disasters occur, to responding effectively when events happen, and finally supporting long-term recovery. FEMA indicates that recipients will be expected to align their training content and delivery with FEMA training guidance and with approved homeland security strategies, reinforcing that the work must be consistent with national and departmental priorities rather than developed in isolation.
Awards under this solicitation are issued as cooperative agreements, which generally signals a more active role for the federal government during performance than a standard grant. Recipients are funded to create and provide training content and related support to government partners across levels, with an emphasis on helping federal, state, local, and tribal jurisdictions strengthen capability. The solicitation notes that FEMA is inviting select eligible organizations to apply, and the listed eligibility category for applicants is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the program's reliance on academic and consortium-style training providers (consistent with the NDPC model) to develop scalable, high-quality preparedness training.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding opportunity number is DHS-13-NPD-005-000-01, and the CFDA number is 97.005 (State and Local Homeland Security National Training Program). The total estimated funding amount is $67,929,077, with an expected four awards. The notice lists award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically indicates that specific award sizes may be determined through the application review and negotiation process rather than being preset in the synopsis. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning awardees are expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the terms described in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted on August 8, 2013, and closed on August 28, 2013, with an archive date of September 27, 2013. Funding for the solicitation is authorized by the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113-6). The full announcement and application materials were available through Grants.gov, and applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to FEMA's Systems and Business Support via the Grants Management Division (GMD) Systems Branch at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov.
