Opportunity Summary:
The Prevention Advocacy Resources and Data Exchange (PARADE) Grant Program is a U.S. Fire Administration grant opportunity administered under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA to support a specialized national network of State and local fire marshals. The purpose of the program is to strengthen coordination and information-sharing around fire prevention and fire protection by funding activities that help the PARADE network operate effectively across the country. PARADE is organized into 10 regions that align with the 10 standard federal regional boundaries, creating a consistent structure for collaboration among federal, state, and local partners.
The program is designed to finance practical, day-to-day functions that keep regional prevention and protection efforts connected and up to date. Funding can be used for regional PARADE meetings, including the costs tied to organizing and conducting those gatherings. It also supports reproduction and distribution needs (for example, producing and sharing prevention materials, guidance documents, or meeting resources), computer networking and related technology needs that enable communication and coordination across jurisdictions, and broader information exchange activities that promote the flow of timely prevention and protection knowledge. In addition, the program allows support for risk analysis and related information work, emphasizing the use of data and shared insights to better understand hazards and prevention priorities across regions.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is discretionary and uses the grant instrument type. The program anticipated 10 awards, corresponding to the 10 PARADE regions. The estimated total funding available was $30,000, with an award ceiling of $3,000 per grant. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive an award.
Eligibility was limited and specialized: applicants had to be part of the PARADE structure, effectively tied to one of the 10 PARADE regions. This was not a general open competition for all organizations; it was intended to provide support to the established PARADE regional network of fire marshals.
Key timeline details reflect that this was a time-limited, archived opportunity. It was posted and created on April 23, 2009, with an original and final closing date of June 15, 2009, and it was archived on July 15, 2009.
