Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 NPD 005 00 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP) Continuing Training Grants (CTG) opportunity is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is designed to strengthen the National Preparedness System by investing in training that helps communities build, sustain, and deliver core preparedness capabilities. The central idea is to improve readiness across the whole community so the nation is better positioned to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risks, aligning directly with the National Preparedness Goal.
CTG focuses specifically on training solutions that support state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners. Rather than funding equipment purchases or broad planning efforts, the program emphasis is on practical training that improves operational capability and can be applied in real incidents. The training approach is meant to be integrated and risk-informed, meaning applicants should be thinking about the most relevant threats and hazards in their environments and proposing training that measurably improves capabilities in those areas. The opportunity also reinforces the capabilities-based framework used in national preparedness, encouraging training that clearly maps to core capabilities and supports interoperable, coordinated action across jurisdictions and disciplines.
Awards are issued as cooperative agreements, which generally means FEMA expects substantial involvement in the execution, oversight, or technical direction of the funded work compared with a standard grant. The program is listed under CFDA 97.005. The funding opportunity number is DHS 20 NPD 005 00 01. The posting was created on June 8, 2020, with an application closing date of July 9, 2020. FEMA anticipated making about five awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $8,000,000, indicating the program is structured to support a small number of larger, high-impact training efforts rather than many smaller awards.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of public, nonprofit, and academic organizations that can credibly deliver or support homeland security training. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized. Higher education institutions are eligible, including public/state-controlled universities and private institutions of higher education. Nonprofits are also eligible, including 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. This range of eligible applicants reflects the program goal of leveraging strong training providers and partners across the preparedness enterprise, while still maintaining a clear focus on SLTT benefit and outcomes.
In practical terms, a competitive CTG proposal would be expected to describe a training solution that directly supports SLTT stakeholders, explains how the training builds or sustains core capabilities, and shows how it fits into a broader, whole-community preparedness approach. Since the purpose is to deliver targeted training that advances national preparedness objectives, the strongest applications typically make it easy to see who will be trained, what capabilities will improve, how the training will be delivered and sustained, and how success will be measured in ways that matter for real-world readiness.Apply for DHS 20 NPD 005 00 01
