Opportunity Summary:
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) HFSC Grant was a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA, specifically under the U.S. Fire Administration grant program. The purpose of this funding was narrowly focused: supporting efforts that improve knowledge, understanding, and practical use of residential fire detection and automatic fire sprinkler technology. In plain terms, the grant was aimed at advancing awareness, education, and adoption of proven home fire safety technologies that can detect fires earlier and suppress them automatically, helping reduce deaths, injuries, and property loss in residential settings.
This opportunity was posted on April 17, 2009, with an application deadline of May 15, 2009, and it was later archived on June 14, 2009. The funding opportunity number was DHS 09 USFA 099 2087. The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was also $50,000, meaning the maximum possible grant amount under this announcement was $50,000. 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 for this particular announcement was highly restricted. While the general applicant category is listed as "Others," the eligibility notes specify that it was intended for a specialized group: the National Fire Protection Association. That structure indicates this was effectively a targeted or sole-eligible-entity award designed to fund NFPA-led work aligned with the stated public safety mission, rather than a broadly competitive grant open to many organizations.
For access to the full announcement details, the opportunity directed applicants to Grants.gov (the listing included an additional information link to http://www.grants.gov). For help obtaining or viewing the full announcement electronically, FEMA provided contact support through the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and an email point of contact at ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
