Opportunity Summary:
The Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) Program (CFDA 84.184E) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help school districts build stronger, more coordinated emergency management systems. The program was shaped by lessons learned from major disasters and crises, including September 11, 2001, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and other natural or human-caused emergencies. The central idea is that schools need to be prepared not just for common campus incidents, but also for larger, community-wide events that can disrupt learning, endanger students and staff, and strain local response capabilities.
At its core, the REMS program funds local educational agencies (LEAs) to review, strengthen, and operationalize school emergency management plans using the standard four-phase emergency management framework: Prevention/Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. In practical terms, that means grantees are expected to look at where risks exist and how to reduce them, build readiness through planning and drills, put clear response procedures in place for when an incident occurs, and prepare for the longer process of restoring safety, stability, and normal operations afterward. A key emphasis is developing comprehensive "all-hazards" plans, meaning the plans should address a broad range of threats and emergencies rather than focusing on only one type of event.
The program also places strong weight on training and collaboration. Grant funds can support training for school staff on emergency management procedures so that plans are not just written documents, but tools people can actually follow under pressure. In addition, applicants are expected to develop their all-hazards plans in partnership with core community stakeholders. The notice highlights collaboration with local law enforcement and public safety, public health agencies, mental health agencies, and local government. This reflects the reality that effective school emergency response depends on shared roles, aligned communication, and coordination with the same agencies that respond to community emergencies.
For the FY 2010 competition described in the notice summary, the Department anticipated making about 96 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $29,000,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity. The funding opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-010810-001, and the opportunity category is discretionary, with the funding instrument type identified as a grant. The posting date was January 8, 2010, with applications available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was February 26, 2010 (with an archive date of March 28, 2010).
Eligibility is limited to LEAs, including charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law, with one major restriction: applicants cannot currently have an active REMS grant under CFDA 84.184E. For this purpose, a grant is considered active until the end of its project or funding period, including any extensions that still allow the grantee to obligate funds. This eligibility limitation comes from a previously published final eligibility requirement in the Federal Register dated December 4, 2006 (71 FR 70369).
Applications for this opportunity were intended to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice specifically states that applicants cannot submit an electronic copy of the application by email; the electronic submission must occur through the designated platform where application data are entered online and saved into a database.
