Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 18 MT 082 00 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 Earthquake Consortium and State Support (ECSS) Consortia and Partner Support opportunity is a discretionary funding program run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). NEHRP is a long-standing federal effort focused on reducing earthquake-related losses across the United States by supporting both foundational and applied work in earthquake science and engineering, and then helping move those results into real-world practice. This grant is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means FEMA expects to have an active partnership role during the period of performance rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal involvement.
At its core, the program is designed to strengthen national preparedness and resilience by advancing mitigation, aligning with federal preparedness policy direction such as the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review mission area "Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience" and the mitigation emphasis in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). The overarching priority is straightforward: reduce risks to life and property from future earthquakes by maintaining an effective, coordinated earthquake hazards reduction program. In practice, that priority translates into supporting consortia and partner organizations that can connect research, codes and standards, public education, and resilience-building into implementation-focused activities that actually change outcomes on the ground.
The opportunity lays out several key objectives that define what FEMA is trying to accomplish with these awards. A major emphasis is promoting the implementation of research results, meaning the program is not only interested in generating knowledge, but in ensuring scientific and engineering advances are translated into tools, guidance, and practices used by communities, practitioners, and decision-makers. Another objective is promoting better building practices, which points to efforts that support stronger adoption and use of earthquake-resistant design principles, modern building codes, retrofitting strategies, and construction quality improvements. The program also explicitly aims to provide assistance that enables resilience at multiple levels, including individuals, organizations, and communities, reflecting a broad view of resilience that includes preparedness planning, risk communication, and the ability to withstand and recover from earthquake impacts.
A further objective is supporting earthquake education and public awareness. This indicates FEMA is seeking activities that improve understanding of earthquake risk and encourage protective actions before, during, and after earthquakes. In addition, the program highlights the development of approaches that coordinate earthquake risk reduction measures with strategies for other hazards, commonly described as multi-hazard design. This matters because many communities need mitigation solutions that do not treat hazards in isolation; instead, they benefit from integrated approaches that consider earthquakes alongside other natural and technological risks, helping ensure investments in resilience are compatible and mutually reinforcing.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education under the eligibility category listed. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is listed as Education and "Other," indicating the work can include training, outreach, implementation support, and related applied activities that may not fit neatly into a single standard category. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 18 MT 082 00 01 and CFDA number 97.082.
From a funding and timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on June 8, 2018, with an original closing date of July 8, 2018. FEMA anticipated making up to 8 awards, with an award ceiling of $751,396 per award. The description also notes that applicants should refer to Appendix C for more detailed guidance on eligible activities tied to specific consortia and partners, suggesting the program expects proposals to align with defined roles, workstreams, or implementation pathways within the broader NEHRP and ECSS framework.Apply for DHS 18 MT 082 00 01
