Opportunity Summary:
The Training Resource and Data Exchange (TRADE) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 09 USFA 097 2073) was a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FEMA. Its core purpose was to strengthen the national exchange and sharing of fire and emergency services training materials, resources, and related information across the established TRADE regions. In practical terms, the program was designed to help the fire service reduce duplication of effort, spread proven training approaches faster, and make it easier for training organizations to access and reuse high-quality instructional content and tools.
The opportunity fell under CFDA 97.097 (Training Resource and Data Exchange) and was categorized as “Other,” with the explanation that it was a USFA grant program. FEMA anticipated making about 10 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $93,000. Individual awards were capped at $17,255 (the award ceiling), indicating the grants were intended to fund targeted, regionally focused coordination and resource-sharing activities rather than large-scale projects. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant recipients were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to TRADE network participants, specifically the directors of the 50 state fire service training systems and senior executive training officers from the nation’s largest fire departments. This narrow eligibility aligns with the program’s emphasis on structured, national-level coordination through established training leadership rather than open competition among a broad range of organizations. The overall intent was to support collaboration among the primary entities responsible for fire service training standards, delivery, and leadership development across states and major metropolitan departments.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on April 24, 2009 (created April 27, 2009). The original application deadline was May 15, 2009, later extended to June 5, 2009. The opportunity was archived on July 5, 2009, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation for that funding cycle.
