About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is offering a $1,800,000 grant through the Fiscal Year 2024 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP) Continuing Training Grants (CTG) Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE) program. The grant seeks to fund the development and delivery of training solutions for state, local, tribal, and territorial partners on the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in emergency management operations. The period of performance is 36 months, with a projected start date of September 1, 2024. Applicants must register in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and apply through FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) by August 3, 2024. This grant is authorized under the State and Local Homeland Security National Training Program (CFDA 97.005).
The grant will fund one award to Mississippi State University's Federal Aviation Administration Center of Excellence for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ASSURE). The program supports FEMA's strategic priorities to instill equity and lead whole-of-community climate resilience. The training developed and delivered under this grant will help students be better prepared to effectively use UAS resources to achieve outcomes in emergency management operations.
Synopsis
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) offer new technologies to support key mission requirements including preliminary damage assessments, debris measurements and calculations, visual evidence, confirmation analysis, establishing flood levels and damages to structures, search and rescue operations, and logistics and package delivery. As jurisdictions develop UAS programs and integrate this technology in emergency management operations, training is critical. FEMA supports the development and delivery of curriculum that leads to the competencies required for the emergency management and first responder communities to effectively use UAS before, during, and after disasters. Students, after completing UAS training, will be better prepared to effectively use UAS resources to achieve outcomes.
Applicants can submit applications for this funding opportunity through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO). Access the system at https://go.fema.gov/
