Opportunity Summary:

The National Fire Protection Association HFSC Grant is a discretionary grant opportunity administered under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA, specifically tied to the U.S. Fire Administration grant programming. Its central purpose is to provide funding that helps increase knowledge, understanding, and practical use of residential fire detection and automatic fire sprinkler technologies. In plain terms, the grant is meant to support efforts that encourage wider awareness and adoption of tools like smoke alarms, detection systems, and home sprinkler systems, with the broader goal of improving fire safety outcomes in residential dwellings.

This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 USFA 099 000 02 and is titled "National Fire Protection Association HFSC Grant." The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation indicating it falls under U.S. Fire Administration grant program activity. The grant was posted and created on March 19, 2010, and it had an application closing date of April 19, 2010 (both the original and current closing dates match). The opportunity was archived on May 19, 2010, which generally indicates the application window has ended and the listing is no longer active for new submissions.

Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and targeted. The estimated total funding amount is $50,000, and the award ceiling is also $50,000, which strongly suggests a single award at the full amount rather than multiple smaller awards. Consistent with that, the expected number of awards is listed as 1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds or in-kind resources as a condition of receiving the grant.

Eligibility is narrowly defined. The eligible applicant type is noted as "Others," with the eligibility information specifying a specialized group: the National Fire Protection Association. This indicates the opportunity was likely structured for a specific organization rather than as an open competitive program for a broad range of applicants such as local governments, nonprofits generally, or universities.

For applicants or stakeholders seeking the original full announcement details, the listing points to Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) as the source for the complete opportunity information. For access issues with the electronic announcement, the contact provided is the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646, which would have served as the support channel for technical or access-related problems during the application period.
