Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 18 NPD 131 00 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Emergency Management Baseline Assessment Grant (EMBAG) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), administered through FEMA, focused on strengthening the national framework for evaluating emergency management performance. The core purpose of the program is to support updates and enhancements to a set of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-certified standards that address emergency preparedness and response. Alongside those standards, the grant also supports improvements to an accompanying assessment methodology used to evaluate state, local, and territorial emergency management organizations.
A central feature of the opportunity is the expectation that the assessment methodology includes a structured peer review process that can lead to formal accreditation. In practical terms, this means the program is not just about refining written standards on paper; it is also about ensuring there is a credible, repeatable way to assess real organizations against those standards. The peer review element is intended to add rigor and credibility by involving qualified reviewers, and the accreditation outcome is meant to provide an objective validation of an organization’s emergency management capabilities. Importantly, the methodology is expected to work for emergency management organizations of any size, indicating a need for an approach that is scalable and adaptable across jurisdictions with different capacities and resources.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits that do not hold 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a grant, and the listed activity category is “Information and Statistics,” reflecting that the work centers on standards, evaluation methods, and assessment processes rather than direct operational response activities or equipment purchases.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 18 NPD 131 00 01 and is associated with CFDA number 97.131. FEMA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), suggesting the program was designed to fund one lead organization to carry out the standards and methodology enhancement effort. The notice was created on August 1, 2018, with an original application closing date of August 20, 2018. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the provided data, which typically indicates that the maximum award amount was either unspecified in the summary record or determined in the full notice rather than capped in the metadata.
Overall, FY 2018 EMBAG is best understood as an investment in the underlying national infrastructure of emergency management quality assurance: modernizing ANSI-certified preparedness and response standards, improving how organizations are assessed against those standards, and reinforcing an accreditation pathway grounded in peer review for state, local, and territorial emergency management programs.Apply for DHS 18 NPD 131 00 01
