 The Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) – Amtrak program is one of four grant programs that constitute DHS/FEMA’s focus on transportation infrastructure security activities. These grant programs are part of a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by DHS to help strengthen the Nation’s critical infrastructure against potential terrorist attacks. The IPR provides funds to Amtrak to protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism. For FY 2024, DHS is focused on the criticality of information sharing and collaboration to building a national culture of preparedness and protecting against terrorism and other threats to our national security. DHS and its homeland security mission were born from the “failures among federal agencies and between the federal agencies and state and local authorities to share critical information related to the threat of terrorism” prior to the September 11, 2001, attacks. The threat profile has changed in the last two decades – we now face continuous cyber threats by sophisticated actors, threats to soft targets and crowded places, threats to our democratic election process and threats from new and emerging technologies. That said, information sharing and cooperation between state, local, tribal, and territorial authorities, and federal agencies, including all DHS officials, is just as vital, and perhaps even more vital, today. Therefore, for FY 2024, we have identified two priority areas, related to some of the most serious threats that Amtrak should address with IPR funds. These two priorities areas include enhancing cybersecurity and enhancing the protection of soft targets/crowded places. DHS also will continue to forge partnerships to strengthen information sharing and collaboration in each of these priority areas. Applicants can submit applications for this funding opportunity through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO). Access the system at https://go.fema.gov/.

Please use both the General NGO Guidelines and this announcement to ensure that your submission is in full compliance with PRM requirements and that the proposed activities are in line with PRM’s priorities. Submissions that do not reflect the requirements outlined in these guidelines will not be considered. Proposed activities must contribute to global learning and/or advancement of best practices on interim and durable solutions for refugees, asylum seekers, and/or stateless persons. Specifically, this NOFO seeks proposals addressing one of three themes: Self-reliance, Statelessness, or Innovation.Durable solutions end an individual’s refugee or stateless status, such as through voluntary return and reintegration, local integration, or resettlement in another country. Given that access to durable solutions remains limited for a majority of refugees and stateless persons and the timeframe to access a durable solution is often protracted and uncertain, PRM also supports access to interim solutions. Interim solutions can be understood as efforts that support inclusion in host country national services such as health care, education, or sustainable housing. It may also, for instance, contribute to self-reliance by supporting access to labor markets and livelihoods, or advance measures that contribute to durable solutions such as identity documentation or addressing freedom of movement.Applicants with technical questions related to this announcement should contact the PRM staff listed below prior to submission.Statelessness: Carmen Wilke, wilkecl@state.govSelf-Reliance: Ellen Lee, leeek3@state.govInnovation: Katherine Armeier, armeierk@state.gov
