Description
The Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) Grant Program, administered by the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), provides funding to enhance the safety of the public and firefighters against fire and fire-related hazards. The program supports two primary activity areas: (1) Fire Prevention and Safety Activity, which funds projects aimed at high-risk groups to mitigate fire-related injuries and deaths, and (2) Firefighter Safety Research and Development (R&D) Activity, which supports research to improve firefighter safety, health, or well-being. Typical projects include community risk reduction, wildfire risk reduction, code enforcement, origin and cause investigations, national or regional fire safety programs, clinical studies, technology development, and early career investigator research.
