# FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION

#  {#section .Style-Heading-1-+-Not-Italic .unnumbered}

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is accepting applications for
the Fiscal Year 2007 Competitive Training Grants Program (CTGP). This
program will provide funding for National scope training initiatives
that further DHS's mission of preparing the Nation to prevent, protect
against, respond to, and recover from incidents of terrorism or
catastrophic events. DHS is responsible for the National preparedness
training program. As such, programs funded in response to this
solicitation must address a National preparedness problem that can be
addressed, in part, through training. Course materials and course
deliveries must be offered and accessible to responders throughout the
Nation. While the delivery must account for National coverage, the
delivery rollout can be implemented regionally and locally, to leverage
expertise, share resources, and enhance training capacity. Additionally,
proposed training programs must be innovative and distinct in comparison
to current training offered by the DHS's National Domestic Preparedness
Consortium, other DHS training partners, other Federal agencies, and
training traditionally offered by State and local training academies for
routine missions.

Under this solicitation, training should be designed for, and delivered
to, appropriate State and local personnel with Homeland Security related
responsibilities. The audience for training should be identified by
applicants in their proposals.

> **FOCUS AREAS**

DHS has determined that the following five focus areas will be
priorities in this year's competitive program. Applicants may submit
only one concept paper that deals exclusively with one focus area:

-   Public communications

-   Executive leadership of homeland security programs

-   Intergovernmental coordination and planning

-   Managing homeland security risks

-   Legal issues in preparation, response, and recovery

These five focus areas reflect important components of a National
homeland security training program that will ultimately support all
target capabilities. These areas are broad and complex. Each applicant
is expected to use a combination of readily available resources and
their working knowledge of the subject matter to refine the focus area
and to shape the overall training program in keeping with current
National policies, doctrines, and priorities. Proposed training must be
consistent with applicable Federal regulations, policies, and guidance
that govern the focus area.

> prescribed elements stated below, as an integral part of their 8-page
> concept paper, regardless of how they complete or submit the
> *Grants.gov* Budget Information form.
>
> Please provide an estimated cost for each of the following categories:

-   **Personnel:** Indicate the total projected salary and wages for all
    project personnel. Compensation paid for employees engaged in grant
    activities must be consistent with that paid for similar work within
    the applicant organization.

-   **Fringe Benefits:** Fringe benefits should be based on actual known
    costs or an established formula. Fringe benefits on overtime hours
    are limited to FICA, Workman's Compensation, and Unemployment
    Compensation.

-   **Equipment**: Provide the total projected cost of non-expendable
    items that need to be purchased. Non-expendable equipment is
    tangible property having a useful life of more than two years.
    (Note: Organization's own capitalization policy and threshold amount
    for classification of equipment may be used). Expendable items
    should be included either in the "Supplies" category or in the
    "Other" category. Applicants should analyze the cost benefits of
    purchasing versus leasing equipment, especially high cost items and
    those subject to rapid technical advances. Rented or leased
    equipment costs should be listed in the "Contracts" category.

-   **Supplies**: Provide the total projected cost of supplies (e.g.
    office supplies, postage, training materials, copying paper, and
    other expendable items such as books, hand held tape recorders).
    Organization's own capitalization policy and threshold amount for
    classification of supplies may be used. Generally, supplies include
    any materials that are expendable or consumed during the course of
    the project.

-   **Consultants/Contracts**: Provide the total projected cost of
    consultants and contracts.

-   **Other Costs:** Provide a total projected cost of miscellaneous
    items (e.g., rent, reproduction, telephone, and investigative or
    confidential funds)

-   **Indirect Costs**: Indirect costs are allowed only if the applicant
    has a Federally approved indirect cost rate. A copy of the rate
    approval, (a fully executed, negotiated agreement), will be required
    prior to an award. If the applicant does not have an approved rate,
    one can be requested by contacting the applicant's cognizant Federal
    agency, which will review all documentation and approve a rate for
    the applicant organization, or if the applicant's accounting system
    permits, costs may be allocated in the direct costs categories.

-   **Total Estimated Budget:** The total dollar value for all
    categories.

-   **Budget Rationale** -- A brief narrative that explains the key
    assumptions and methods used for cost estimations.

> **Special Budgetary Notes**: DHS has an established course review and
> approval process that must be followed prior to the release of
> training programs. Consequently, the applicant should include the
> costs of the resources they feel necessary to participate in the DHS
> course review process, which includes a needs assessment, focus group,
> or other method of "analysis" that will conform to the analyze,
> design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) instructional design
> model; conducting three pilot training sessions; instructional design
> expertise; subject matter expert (SME) attendance at one or more of
> the pilot sessions (per diem and fee); and staff or consultant time to
> make the revisions to the course materials suggested by the course
> review board. In addition to course review and approval costs, the
> applicant should account for actual course delivery costs.
>
> **Unallowable Costs:** Grant funds should be applied only to costs
> directly associated with the development and delivery of the proposed
> training module. Incidental costs associated with training including
> travel, lodging, and per diem for trainees who attend programs offered
> regionally or Nationally, as well as unassociated overtime and
> backfill costs associated with either trainees or trainers are not
> allowed and should not appear in the applicants budget estimate.
>
> **Attachment 2 --** Mandatory forms include the: (1) Application for
> Federal Assistance (SF-424); (2) Assurances for Non-Construction
> Programs (SF-424B); and (3) Disclosure of Lobbying Activities
> (SF-LLL). These forms can also be viewed at

> DHS will evaluate and act on applications within 60 days of the end of
> the application period. DHS will review all applications and their
> effectiveness in addressing the funding priorities consistent with DHS
> policy as outlined in this *CTGP Program Guidance and Application
> Kit.*
>
> Concept papers will be reviewed and evaluated for adherence to content
> and format requirements established in this guidance. The following
> represents a summary of key elements that will support the concept
> paper evaluation process. Concept papers should:

-   Clearly select only one of the five eligible focus areas and
    demonstrate how the applicant's subject matter expertise will guide
    the development and delivery of a relevant and timely training
    program of National scope.

-   Clearly demonstrate the applicant's relevance to the selected focus
    area either as a knowledgeable stakeholder or as a recognized source
    of expertise in the field.

-   Propose innovative and distinct training in comparison to training
    currently offered by the DHS National Domestic Preparedness
    Consortium, other NDP training partners, other Federal agencies, and
    training traditionally offered by State and local training academies
    for routine missions.

-   Propose training accessible to State and local responders throughout
    the Nation, using a distributed and flexible "blended learning"
    training model.

-   Training should be designed for and delivered to appropriate State
    and local personnel with Homeland Security related responsibilities.
    The audience for training should be identified by applications in
    their proposals along with justification for why that is the most
    appropriate audience for the selected focus areas and an explanation
    of how the training is designed to best address that particular
    audience.

> Additionally, the concept paper must adhere to the format, content,
> and length requirements detailed in Appendix 3 of this guidance. The
> Executive Summary statement must accurately reflect the training
> program's key components in 350 words or less. This summary statement
> will be used by DHS program staff as an important source of
> information in their review and evaluation of the application.
>
> Applicants will be notified about their selection status once the DHS
> review has been completed. The following represents examples of why
> DHS may reject an application:

-   Incomplete applications

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Did not propose a National scope training program

-   Did not address one of the five focus areas

-   Addressed more than one focus area

-   Did not comply with format requirements

-   Not submitted through the official online application portal

No additions to submitted applications or application resubmissions will
be allowed.

B. **[Selection Process:]{.underline}** Peer reviewers will evaluate
each concept paper against the criteria listed in the solicitation. Each
proposed program will be evaluated on its individual merit and relevance
to the identified problem rather than against other proposals in the
same focus area. Based on the peer reviewer recommendations, DHS will
invite applicants of selected concept papers to continue in the
application process by submitting a full proposal describing the
training program in greater detail.
