Grant Details:
Amount: $1,000,000
Application Due Date: TBA
Description: Overview:
The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) will make awards of up to $125,000 in federal funding made available by the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) for New York State’s Hazardous Materials (HazMat) response teams. There is a total of $1,000,000 in funding available under this grant program and funds will be awarded competitively based on the submission of applications by eligible regional HazMat team partnerships. All awards are subject to the availability of federal funds.
Please see Request for Application (RFA) and Guidelines for grant program objectives and priorities.
What We Fund:
Grant funding under the FY2011 HazMat Grant may be used for certain:
- planning,
- equipment,
- training, and
- exercise costs allowable under the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP).
Due to the specialized nature of this grant program, applications must focus on building regional WMD HazMat Response and Decontamination Capabilities. Please refer only to Appendix A, “Allowable Costs Matrix,” for detailed information on allowable costs under the FY2011 HazMat Grant Program.
Eligibility:
Due to the regional focus of this specialized grant program, DHSES will not accept applications from individual HazMat teams; rather:
- Two or more teams must apply together for a regional project
- Applicants (consisting of two or more teams) must identify one team to be the “submitting partner” for this grant. The other partners involved in a given application will be deemed “participating partners.” DHSES will not identify pre-set “regions” for this grant program, so applicants will have the ability to determine their regional construct for the purposes of this grant program.

If you have not previously been registered to use the DHSES E-Grants system, your agency will need to register and be assigned a user name and password.
