About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency seeks applications for its Fiscal Year 2023 Fire Prevention and Safety Grant Program to be awarded approximately $36 million. Eligible applicants include fire departments, national nonprofit organizations, and academic institutions. Applications are due by April 12, 2024 to fund activities across five categories including community risk reduction, wildfire risk reduction, and firefighter safety research. Applicants must submit narratives addressing financial need, project descriptions and implementation plans, and cost-benefit analyses, and agree to maintain 80% of average fire prevention expenditures for the last two years.
FEMA anticipates making 100 awards between $300,000 and $1.5 million each, with periods of performance from 12 to 36 months starting August 2024. Research grants will fund clinical studies, technology development, database systems, preliminary studies, and early career investigators. Successful applicants must use the awards to enhance public and firefighter safety across the United States with respect to fire and fire-related hazards.
Synopsis
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Grants Programs Directorate is responsible for the implementation and administrations of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Programs. The purpose of the AFG Program is to enhance the safety of the public and firefighters with respect to fire and fire-related hazards. The Grants Programs Directorate administers the Fire Prevention and Safety (FP & S) grants as part of the AFG Program. FP & S offers grants to support activities in two categories: (1) activities designed to reach high-risk target groups and mitigate incidences of death and injuries caused by fire and fire-related hazards ("Fire Prevention and Safety Activity") and (2) research and development activities aimed at improving firefighter safety ("Firefighter Safety Research and Development Activity"). The program guidance document provides potential applicants with the details of the requirements, processing, and evaluation of an application for financial assistance for both of these activity areas.
