About this program
The Department of Homeland Security funds outreach, education, and technical assistance initiatives designed to raise public awareness of homeland security issues and build community partnerships for preparedness and response through seminars, workshops, training, and written materials (CFDA 97.086), with the most recent grant award disbursed in October 2010—over fifteen years ago.
This program is inactive. No grant awards have been made since 2010. The portfolio spans only four cooperative agreements totaling $6.4 million in federal dollars obligated across a fourteen-year funding window from 2006 to 2010, with an average cadence of fewer than one award per year. No recent grant opportunities are known to be posted.
All funded activity centered on public safety wireless interoperability and communications policy. The largest award, a $4.8 million cooperative agreement in 2006, supported outreach, education, and technical assistance for the public safety community on interoperability efforts. A subsequent $1.8 million cooperative agreement in 2007 funded the Office for Interoperability and Compatibility's outreach and education work on public safety interoperability. Two smaller awards in 2010—one for $201 thousand and another for approximately $5 thousand—supported local officials' public safety communications and wireless interoperability policy academies.
The Department of Homeland Security is the sole funding agency under this listing, accounting for all four awards and the entire $6.4 million obligated.
All awards were structured as Cooperative Agreements, reflecting collaborative delivery between DHS and recipients on technical assistance and policy development.
This program does not merit pursuit. The absence of awards for over fifteen years, the lack of posted opportunities, and the minimal historical award frequency indicate dormancy or discontinuation. Verify current program status with DHS before investing business development effort.
