Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JK324NF0012
The FY 2024 Community Safety Grants (CSG) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 693JK324NF0012) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The purpose of this program is to strengthen community-level preparedness and response capabilities related to hazardous materials (HAZMAT) accidents and incidents, with an emphasis on practical improvements that help communities prevent, manage, and recover from transportation-related hazmat events. While the grants are aimed at supporting specific organizations, the intent is broader public benefit: projects are expected to produce improvements that can extend nationwide to the constituents served by the nonprofit grantee.
Funding under CSG is designed to support mission-aligned activities that enhance readiness for hazmat incidents. A core example highlighted in the opportunity is training for state and local enforcement personnel who are responsible for enforcing requirements for safe HAZMAT transportation. In practice, that can include programs that build the knowledge and operational skills of frontline personnel who interact with hazmat shipments and incidents, such as inspectors and enforcement staff who ensure compliance with transportation safety rules. The overall theme is capability-building: helping communities and the systems that serve them become more prepared to respond effectively when a hazmat accident occurs.
The expected deliverable and outcome for funded projects is improved accident readiness in communities. This is framed as a direct improvement in community preparedness and response capability, rather than a purely academic or research outcome. Because the opportunity notes that benefits may be nationwide, applicants should generally expect that PHMSA is looking for efforts that can be replicated, scaled, or shared beyond a single location when feasible, especially where a nonprofit serves a broad membership or network.
Eligibility is relatively specific. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). The listing does not mention for-profit entities, and it does not emphasize state or local governments as direct applicants for this particular opportunity, with the focus instead placed on nonprofits and higher education institutions whose work aligns with community safety and hazmat preparedness.
From a funding perspective, the grant instrument type is a standard grant, and the award ceiling is listed at $500,000. PHMSA anticipated making about 7 awards under this opportunity, indicating a competitive program with a limited number of funded recipients. The activity categories connected to the opportunity are Transportation and Employment, Labor and Training, which fits the program focus on training and enforcement capability related to hazmat transportation safety. The CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with the program is 20.703.
The timeline information included in the source data shows the opportunity was created on February 20, 2024, with an original closing date of April 5, 2024. Organizations considering similar future cycles can use this as a rough indicator that application windows may be relatively short and may require early preparation, particularly for assembling training plans, demonstrating organizational capability, and documenting how the proposed work will measurably improve community readiness.
Finally, the opportunity notes that there are no known subrecipient activities. That suggests PHMSA does not anticipate or emphasize a pass-through model in which the awardee distributes funding onward to subrecipients, and that the primary applicant organization is expected to carry out the main scope of work itself (potentially with contractors or partners as permitted under the award terms, but not as a formal subaward structure, based on the information provided).Apply for 693JK324NF0012
