About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency administers the Port Security Grant Program (ARRA), CFDA 97.116, which funds construction projects that address terrorism risks at regulated ports, with priority given to projects that can be completed in a timely manner. The program has not issued new grant awards since September 2013, over 13 years ago.
The program distributed $135.1 million in federal dollars across 228 awards between 2009 and 2013, with the largest concentration in 2009 when 218 awards were issued. The awards are distributed between Cooperative Agreements (58 percent, 132 awards) and Project Grants (42 percent, 96 awards). FEMA funded all awards under this listing.
Recent award examples from the 2009 cohort illustrate the funding envelope and scope. Project Grant 2009PUR10184 obligated $2.26 million for port security infrastructure. Cooperative Agreement 2009PUR10201 obligated $4.90 million, representing one of the program's largest awards. Project Grant 2009PUR10365 obligated $1.85 million for port construction or facility hardening. Smaller awards range from under $10 thousand to several hundred thousand dollars, with 2013-era awards typically obligating between $5 thousand and $525 thousand per recipient.
Do not pursue this program. The Port Security Grant Program (ARRA) is dormant. No grant awards have been issued since 2013, the award pipeline dried up after 2009, and no recent grant opportunities are posted. The "ARRA" in the title references American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding, which expired over a decade ago. While the program remains in the Assistance Listing inventory, there is no active solicitation activity or recent funding flow to indicate that grants are currently available.
