Opportunity Summary:

The Risk, Economics and Operations Research of Terrorism and All Hazards (REOR) Center Partners ONLY opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 ST 061 001B) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) science and technology research funding notice focused on improving how the United States understands, measures, and manages risk from terrorism and a broad range of other hazards. The program sits in the research and development space and supports work that applies risk analysis, economic methods, and operations research to homeland security problems. The emphasis implied by the title is on analytical and decision-support approaches, meaning projects are likely expected to produce models, methods, tools, datasets, or findings that help decision-makers allocate resources, evaluate countermeasures, and plan operations under uncertainty across different threat and hazard scenarios.

This opportunity is structured to make awards as either grants or cooperative agreements, with the cooperative agreement mechanism typically indicating more substantial federal involvement during the performance of the project than a standard grant. DHS anticipates making about 30 awards under this notice, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000. Individual award sizes can range from a floor of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $2,500,000, suggesting the program can support both smaller, targeted studies and potentially larger, multi-task efforts depending on the scope and the overall portfolio decisions. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award (though programs can still consider leverage and institutional support depending on the full announcement).

Eligibility is broad on paper and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, independent school districts, small businesses, other for-profit organizations, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exclusion categories as written), and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). However, the title clearly states "Center Partners ONLY," which typically means that despite the wide eligibility language, DHS intends this competition for organizations that are already recognized partners within a designated DHS Center structure (commonly DHS Centers of Excellence or similar consortia). In practical terms, the full announcement would be expected to define what qualifies as a center partner, how that status is verified, and any restrictions on teaming, subawards, or collaborations.

Key administrative details include the posting and creation date of March 4, 2010, an original and current closing date of April 30, 2010, and an archive date of May 30, 2010, indicating this is a historical opportunity window that has closed. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.061 (Centers for Homeland Security), linking it to DHS homeland security research funding. The agency listed is the Office of Procurement Operations, Grants Division, which signals the administrative office managing the award process, compliance, and grants administration rather than a purely programmatic science office.

The synopsis provides limited narrative content and repeatedly directs applicants to use the "Full Announcement" tab on the Grants.gov synopsis page for the complete requirements, which would normally include the statement of objectives, research topics or thrust areas, deliverables, period of performance, reporting requirements, evaluation criteria, budget rules, allowable costs, and submission instructions. For access issues specific to the electronic full announcement, the listed point of contact is Michael White, Grants Technician, at 202-447-5529, with the note that this contact is for electronic access problems only.
