Opportunity Summary:
The State Fire Training Systems Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 USFA 043 000 01) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) within FEMA, Department of Homeland Security. Its main purpose is to provide financial assistance to the State Fire Training Systems in all 50 states so they can deliver a range of National Fire Academy (NFA) courses and programs. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help states bring federally developed fire and emergency services training to firefighters and related personnel at the state level, while also supporting the behind-the-scenes administrative work needed to run those courses effectively. An additional emphasis in the description is support for electronic student feedback, indicating the program also values standardized course evaluation and data collection to measure training quality and outcomes.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 97.043, which corresponds to the State Fire Training Systems Grants program. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification that it is a USFA grant program. The program anticipated making about 50 awards, which aligns with the eligibility being targeted to a specialized group: representatives of the 50 State Fire Training Systems. Unlike many grant programs that allow broad competition among local governments or nonprofits, eligibility here is intentionally narrow and structured around the official state-level fire training agencies or their designated representatives.
From a funding perspective, FEMA estimated the total available funding at $1,400,000. Individual awards had a ceiling of $28,000, and the award floor was listed as $0, which usually signals that while there is a maximum amount per award, the actual award size could vary depending on the application, program needs, and available funds. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning states would not be required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to receive an award, which can reduce barriers for participation and speed up implementation of training deliveries.
The timeline information shows the opportunity was posted March 19, 2010, with an original closing date of April 19, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of May 8, 2010. The archive date was May 19, 2010, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and has been formally closed out in the listing. The grant was offered as a standard "Grant" funding instrument type, rather than a cooperative agreement or contract, which generally suggests the recipient (the state fire training system) would have primary responsibility for carrying out the funded activities within the terms and conditions of the award.
