Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 16 GPD 044 000 98
The Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program, Fire Prevention and Safety Grants (FPS) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA, specifically administered by FEMA's Grants Programs Directorate. FPS is part of the broader Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, and its central purpose is to improve safety outcomes related to fires and fire-related hazards. In practical terms, the program is aimed at reducing deaths and injuries among both the general public and firefighters by funding prevention-focused initiatives and safety-driven research.
FPS funding is organized into two main activity areas. The first is the Fire Prevention and Safety Activity category, which supports projects designed to reach high-risk populations and reduce the incidence and severity of fire-related injuries and fatalities. This category is generally oriented toward education, prevention campaigns, and targeted interventions that address the specific risk factors that make certain communities or groups more vulnerable. The second is the Firefighter Safety Research and Development Activity category, which supports research and development efforts intended to improve firefighter safety. This category is focused on generating new knowledge, tools, technologies, or evidence-based practices that can reduce line-of-duty risks and improve operational safety for firefighters.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and nonprofit entities, reflecting the program's dual emphasis on community risk reduction and firefighter safety innovation. Eligible organizations include county governments and city or township governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also notes that additional eligible applicant types may exist under an "Others" category, depending on the specific eligibility clarifications provided in the program guidance.
From an administrative standpoint, FPS is offered as a grant (funding instrument type: Grant) under CFDA number 97.044. The funding opportunity number is DHS 16 GPD 044 000 98. The opportunity record indicates an award ceiling of $1,500,000 per award and an anticipated total of about 100 awards. The opportunity was created on April 10, 2017, with an original application closing date of May 19, 2017. FEMA indicates that the program guidance document is the key reference for applicants because it lays out the detailed requirements, application process steps, and how submissions will be reviewed and evaluated for both activity areas.Apply for DHS 16 GPD 044 000 98
