Performance occurs in Grand Prairie, Texas. The assistance type is a Project Grant. SAFER awards are selected through a multi-phase, merit-based process: applications are pre-scored electronically based on alignment with program priorities established by a Criteria Development Panel of major fire service organizations, then the highest-ranked applications advance to peer review panels that evaluate project description, impact on daily operations, financial need, and cost-benefit analysis, with final selection based on overall ranking, technical evaluation, and program office review. Period of performance extensions are available for SAFER R & R Activity grants only within 120 days of expiration, granted only due to compelling legal, policy, or operational challenges.
