Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 24 GPD 044 00 97
The Fiscal Year 2024 Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), through FEMA's Grants Programs Directorate. Its overall goal is straightforward: reduce deaths, injuries, and other harms related to fires and fire-related hazards, while also improving the safety of firefighters who respond to those incidents. In practice, the program is meant to fund projects that either prevent fires and reduce risk in the community or advance the science and technology that keeps firefighters safer on the job.
Funding is organized into two main tracks. The first track, often described as Fire Prevention and Safety Activity, supports practical prevention and outreach efforts aimed at groups and settings where fire risk is highest. This includes initiatives designed to change behavior, reduce hazards, and improve safety outcomes, with an emphasis on reaching high-risk target populations and addressing the conditions that contribute to fires and related injuries. The second track, called Firefighter Safety Research and Development Activity, is focused on research, testing, evaluation, and development work that can lead to measurable improvements in firefighter safety. This category is intended for more technical or evidence-driven projects that can generate new tools, methods, technologies, or knowledge to reduce firefighter injuries and fatalities.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of public and nonprofit entities, reflecting the two-track structure of the program. Applicants may include county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Fire departments are also specifically identified as applicant types, which aligns with the program's prevention and firefighter safety mission. The program is listed under CFDA number 97.151, and awards are made as grants rather than cooperative agreements or contracts.
Applications must be submitted through FEMA's Grants Outcomes (GO) system, which is FEMA's online platform for applying and managing grants. Applicants access the portal at https://go.fema.gov/. FEMA indicates that the program guidance document is the central reference for applicants because it lays out what is required, how applications are processed, and how submissions will be evaluated for both the prevention-oriented activities and the firefighter safety research and development activities. In other words, the guidance is where an applicant would look for the specific eligibility rules within each category, any cost-share expectations if applicable, required narratives and attachments, and the scoring or review criteria used during evaluation.
For this opportunity, the funding opportunity number is DHS 24 GPD 044 00 97. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The original closing date is July 3, 2025, and the record shows a creation date of May 20, 2025. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided listing, which typically means applicants should rely on the official guidance or related FEMA postings for details on anticipated award volume, available funding, and how funding may be divided between the two main activity areas.Apply for DHS 24 GPD 044 00 97
