Opportunity Summary:
The Training Resource and Data Exchange (TRADE) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 USFA 097 000 01) was a discretionary grant offered through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under FEMA, specifically connected to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA). Its core purpose was to strengthen and support a national system for exchanging and sharing fire and emergency service training materials, resources, and related information across established TRADE regions. In practical terms, the program was meant to help fire service training leaders collaborate more effectively, reduce duplication of effort, and make high-quality training content easier to find, share, and adapt across states and major departments.
This opportunity fell under CFDA 97.097, titled "Training Resource and Data Exchange," and was categorized as "Other" with the clarification that it was a USFA grant program. The program anticipated making about 10 awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding amount of $93,000. Individual awards were capped at $17,255 (the award ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was limited and specialized rather than open to the general public or all organizations. The eligible applicant pool was described as a specialized group of TRADE network participants, specifically including the directors of the 50 state fire service training systems and senior executive training officers from the nation’s largest fire departments. That framing suggests the funding was designed to support an existing national network of training leadership and their coordinated activities, rather than to create new entrants or fund unrelated training programs. The emphasis was on improving the exchange infrastructure, practices, and content-sharing within the TRADE framework and regions.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on April 1, 2010, with an application closing date of May 1, 2010. The listing was later archived on May 31, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were available via Grants.gov at the time, and FEMA provided support for applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically through the FEMA Call Center at (866) 927-5646 and by email at ASK-GMD@dhs.gov.
Overall, TRADE funding was a small, targeted federal investment intended to keep a national training exchange network functioning effectively. Instead of paying for routine local training delivery, it focused on the behind-the-scenes collaboration and sharing that helps fire and emergency services training systems stay current, consistent, and efficient across jurisdictions.
