Opportunity Information: Apply for FR SEC 24 001
The FY24 Transportation Emergency Response Training opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR SEC 24 001) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It falls under the transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 20.301. The purpose of the grant is to support specialized training that strengthens readiness and response capabilities for incidents involving rail transportation, particularly those that may involve tank cars and hazardous materials movements.
The grant is intended to fund training for a broad range of frontline emergency response personnel, including emergency responders, emergency medical technicians, and police and fire personnel. Training topics specifically include tank car nomenclature (how tank cars are identified and classified, and what markings and labels mean), railroad operations (basic railroad practices and operating environments that responders may encounter on or near the rail right-of-way), and other related subjects that are considered useful for mitigating railroad emergencies. In practical terms, the training is geared toward improving situational awareness and safety at rail incidents, helping responders recognize rail equipment and operating conditions, coordinate more effectively during emergencies, and make better-informed decisions when dealing with tank cars and rail-related hazards.
This is a tightly limited opportunity in terms of eligibility. The only entity permitted to apply is the American Chemistry Council, meaning the program is not open to state or local governments, nonprofits generally, educational institutions, or other private organizations. The funding instrument is a grant, and FRA expects to make a single award under this opportunity.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $150,000, with one award anticipated. The opportunity was created on September 23, 2024, and the original application closing date is September 25, 2024, indicating a very short application window.Apply for FR SEC 24 001
