Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools Emergency Management for Higher Education (EMHE) Grant Program (CFDA 84.184T) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help colleges and universities strengthen their ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. The central goal is to support campus-based, all-hazards emergency management planning that is not treated as a standalone document, but is developed or improved and then fully integrated into how the institution actually operates. The program is built around the four standard phases of emergency management: Prevention and Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. In practical terms, the grant is meant to push institutions to take a comprehensive approach to emergency planning that covers a wide range of threats and hazards, rather than focusing narrowly on one type of incident.
This opportunity was announced under Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-040110-001, with applications made available on April 1, 2010 and a deadline for transmittal of May 12, 2010. The total estimated funding listed for this competition was $9,067,000, with an anticipated 26 awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, which means applicants were not required to contribute a specific non-federal share to be eligible, although applicants still typically need to present a credible plan and budget aligned with program expectations in the official Federal Register notice.
Eligible applicants were institutions of higher education (IHEs), including public and state-controlled institutions and private institutions, as well as consortia of IHEs. For this competition, the definition of an IHE follows the Higher Education Act framework and includes several specific conditions: the institution must admit students who have a secondary school diploma (or recognized equivalent) or otherwise meet applicable HEA requirements; it must be legally authorized by the state to provide education beyond secondary school; it must offer an educational program leading to a bachelors degree or at least a two-year program that is fully creditable toward a bachelors degree (or otherwise offer a degree acceptable for graduate or professional admission, subject to review); it must be a public or other nonprofit institution; and it must be accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency (or have recognized preaccreditation status with sufficient assurance of meeting accreditation standards within a reasonable time). In other words, the program was aimed at accredited, nonprofit degree-granting colleges and universities and did not generally extend to for-profit or unaccredited entities.
Applications were to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice emphasized that applicants could not submit an application by emailing an electronic copy; instead, the submission had to occur through the designated online system where information is entered and saved directly into a database. As with many federal grant programs, the synopsis also stresses that the short description is only a summary and that the controlling requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission rules are contained in the official Federal Register application notice. Applicants were directed to use the Federal Register and related official sources for the definitive details.
For applicants needing help with the full announcement or electronic access, the notice provided a technical contact (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov) and a program contact (Tara Hill, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 10088, Potomac Center Plaza, Washington, DC 20202-6450, 202-245-7860). The overall takeaway is that this program was structured to help higher education institutions build or strengthen an integrated, all-hazards emergency management framework across prevention/mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery, supported by federal funding and administered through the Department of Education’s discretionary grants process.
