Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 DOD 025 00 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 National Urban Search & Rescue (US&R) Response System Readiness Cooperative Agreement is a FEMA program under the Department of Homeland Security designed to keep the National US&R Response System fully mission-capable. The opportunity focuses on sustaining the day-to-day readiness of 28 national US&R task forces that can deploy rapidly and operate around the clock in complex disaster environments. These task forces are built to support lifesaving search-and-rescue operations and to reinforce state and local responders during major incidents where specialized capabilities, heavy rescue tools, and highly trained personnel are needed.
The core purpose of the funding is preparedness and sustainment rather than response reimbursement. It supports the ongoing administrative and management needs required to keep task forces organized, staffed, and compliant; it also supports training to maintain proficiency for challenging technical rescue missions. In addition, the grant covers equipment-related needs, including purchasing, replacement, upkeep, storage, and maintenance. Taken together, these allowable investments are meant to ensure that each task force can mobilize quickly, deploy safely, and remain operational for extended periods during large-scale emergencies.
Operationally, the System is intended for a wide range of disasters and catastrophic events, including earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, aircraft accidents, hazardous materials spills, and major structural collapses. When deployed, US&R task forces integrate with and strengthen local, tribal, territorial, and state emergency response efforts, helping locate and rescue survivors, stabilize hazardous conditions, and support broader recovery operations. The program is explicitly tied to national preparedness priorities, aligning with Mission 5, Goal 5.1, "Enhance National Readiness," as outlined in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review.
From a grantmaking standpoint, this opportunity is classified as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, signaling a more hands-on partnership model between the federal government and recipients than a typical grant. The opportunity number is DHS 17 DOD 025 00 01, and the CFDA number listed is 97.025. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, with additional eligibility potentially applying under an "others" category referenced in the full notice. FEMA within DHS is the issuing agency, and the funding opportunity was created on July 17, 2017, with an original application closing date of August 17, 2017.
The program anticipated making 28 awards, consistent with the 28 national task forces it is meant to sustain. The listed award ceiling is $4,036,195. Overall, the cooperative agreement is best understood as a readiness and sustainment mechanism: it helps ensure the nation maintains a standardized, deployable US&R capability that can surge into disaster zones quickly, operate effectively alongside local incident command structures, and deliver specialized rescue outcomes when communities face high-consequence incidents.Apply for DHS 17 DOD 025 00 01
