Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 24 USFA 043 00 99
The Fiscal Year 2024 State Fire Training Systems Grant (SFTSG) is a federal grant opportunity run by the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA, tied to the U.S. Fire Administration and the National Fire Academy (NFA). It is grounded in the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974, which supports a national approach to improving fire prevention, preparedness, and response capabilities. The basic purpose of the program is to strengthen state-level fire service training systems by helping states deliver NFA courses locally, expand access to official NFA instructional materials, and adapt training delivery to meet state and regional needs while still leveraging standardized NFA curricula.
Funding is meant to cover the direct delivery of government-funded NFA courses within a state. In practice, that can include the costs associated with running approved courses and making them available to the fire service through state training agencies. A major emphasis is also placed on the distribution and sharing of core course materials such as Student Manuals, Instructor Guides, and other related instructional resources. Beyond simply distributing materials, the program is designed to help states supplement and tailor how NFA programs are delivered, so that state fire training agencies can address local training gaps, expand reach, and support consistent instruction aligned with NFA offerings.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the program's design as a partnership between the National Fire Academy and state fire service training agencies. The grant uses the federal assistance listing number (CFDA/Assistance Listing) 97.043 and is categorized under education, employment, labor and training, and other related activities. The funding instrument is a grant (not a contract), which generally means the focus is on supporting a public-purpose training mission rather than purchasing goods or services for federal use.
For FY 2024, the opportunity is identified as "Fiscal Year 2024 State Fire Training Systems Grant" with funding opportunity number DHS 24 USFA 043 00 99. The expected number of awards is 50, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $20,000 per award. The original application closing date is 2024-07-05. The opportunity record was created on 2024-06-05.
Applications must be submitted through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO), FEMA's online grants management portal, available at https://go.fema.gov/. In practical terms, that means the state agency responsible for fire service training should plan to use GO for submission, tracking, and any subsequent grant administration steps that FEMA requires.Apply for DHS 24 USFA 043 00 99
