Opportunity Summary:
The PHMSA HMEP SPSTG grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DOT PH HMEP 09 003) is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) under CFDA 20.703, Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants. Its central goal is to strengthen hazardous materials emergency response capability nationwide by expanding the pool of qualified hazardous materials training instructors. The program is designed around a "train-the-trainer" concept: by increasing the number of instructors, PHMSA aims to increase the overall availability and reach of hazardous materials responder training programs for people who have a statutory responsibility to respond to hazardous materials accidents and incidents.
Funding for this opportunity is structured as a single award. PHMSA expected to make one grant, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The award floor and award ceiling are both listed as $1,000,000, which signals that the agency intended to fund one project at a fixed, full amount rather than split funding among multiple recipients or offer variable award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility is narrow and targeted. PHMSA indicated it would accept applications from national nonprofit employee organizations whose members are engaged solely in fighting fires. In other words, this opportunity was not broadly open to all nonprofits, universities, state agencies, or local governments; it focused on a specific type of national firefighter-oriented nonprofit employee organization positioned to scale instructor development and support responder training delivery. The listing in the source data shows "Others" under eligible applicants, with clarification provided in the eligibility text to define this specific category.
The opportunity timeline reflects an older, archived funding cycle. The posting date was April 23, 2009, with a closing date of July 1, 2009, and an archive date of July 31, 2009. The record also lists a creation date of February 25, 2010, which often reflects when the opportunity record was created or updated in a system rather than the original program timeline. Practically speaking, the application window associated with this announcement was tied to the July 1, 2009 deadline.
For applicants seeking procedural details, the source notes that there was no separate announcement beyond the application package, and that applicants needed to follow the instructions contained in that package. For access issues or questions related to the full announcement materials, the contact provided was Carrie Brown with the PHMSA Grant Support Team at 617-494-3318.
