Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 GPD 044 000 98
The Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) Grants opportunity is a discretionary federal grant administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA's Grants Programs Directorate. FP&S sits within the broader AFG Program and is specifically focused on reducing harm from fires and fire-related hazards. Its core goal is to improve safety outcomes for both the public and firefighters by funding practical fire prevention efforts and by supporting research and development that strengthens firefighter health, safety, and wellness.
Funding under FP&S is organized into two main project tracks. The first track, the Fire Prevention and Safety Activity, supports prevention-focused work intended to reach high-risk target groups and reduce deaths, injuries, and property damage linked to fires and related hazards. This generally points to community-facing prevention initiatives that are designed to change risk conditions and behaviors where the need is greatest, rather than broad, unfocused public messaging. The second track, the Firefighter Safety Research and Development Activity, funds research and development efforts that aim to improve firefighter safety, health, or wellness, with an emphasis on producing knowledge, tools, or approaches that can measurably reduce firefighter fatalities and injuries. Together, these two tracks cover both near-term prevention interventions and longer-term improvements driven by evidence and innovation.
Eligible applicants are broad and include local governments (county governments and city or township governments), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category listing). The opportunity also indicates there may be additional eligible applicant types under an "Others" category, which typically means applicants should confirm details in the official program guidance for any special eligibility rules or definitions.
Key administrative details from the source listing include the funding opportunity number DHS 17 GPD 044 000 98 and the CFDA number 97.044. The opportunity was created on January 24, 2018, with an original closing date of March 16, 2018. The anticipated award ceiling is $1,500,000 per award, and FEMA expected to make around 150 awards. The listing also notes that the program guidance document is central to the application process, since it lays out the specific requirements, how applications are processed, and how proposals are evaluated for both the prevention activity area and the firefighter safety research and development activity area.Apply for DHS 17 GPD 044 000 98
