Firefighters Assistance Grants Program
The AFG program’s objective is to provide FEMA/USFA with an
electronic grants submission and administration process for conducting
review; approval and awards for grants applications that are eligible
as per the program guidance. The purpose of the AFG program is to
award one-year grants directly to fire departments at state level
to enhance their abilities with respect to fire and fire-related
hazards. This program seeks to support departments that lack the
tools and resources necessary to protect the health and safety of
the public and their firefighting personnel from fire and fire related
hazards. To streamline the grants process, and to comply with the
paperwork reduction act, development work began on AFGP in November
2001.
Under the direction of the US Fire Administration (USFA), REI worked to understand the current grants application process and also to understand the business model for the end-to-end life cycle for grants processing at FEMA. The web system was deployed in March 2002. The system supports cradle-to-grave grants processing from application receipt, application review, award processing, post award processing, and grants closeout for both external grants applicants and FEMA and Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness (SLGCP) users. The system uses role-based security while the following offices within FEMA and SLGCP are supported: Grants, ProgramS, Finance, and Congressional. |
