Opportunity Summary:
The National Association of State Fire Marshals RFSI Cooperative Agreement was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through the U.S. Fire Administration. Its purpose was to reduce the impact of fire in residential buildings by strengthening and promoting built-in fire protection measures. The announcement emphasized two core strategies: advocating for the use of smoke alarms and automatic residential fire sprinklers, and spreading technical information that supports effective detection and suppression requirements in local ordinances, building and fire codes, and related standards.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expected to have an active partnership role rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $80,000, which also served as the maximum (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. Rather than being open to a broad range of applicants, the opportunity was intended for a specialized group: the National Association of State Fire Marshals. This indicates the funding was designed to support that organization in carrying out work aligned with national and state fire prevention priorities, particularly around residential fire protection policy, code adoption support, and dissemination of best practices and technical guidance.
Key administrative details reflect that this was a time-limited 2009 opportunity. It was posted and created on April 17, 2009, with an original and final application deadline of May 15, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on June 14, 2009. The funding opportunity number was DHS-09-USFA-099-2088, and additional materials were made available through Grants.gov.
