<br /> <br />Preparedness Grants Manual | February 2021 10 <br />Pre-Award Application and Submission <br />Pre-Submission Information <br />These instructions apply to the following programs: <br /> <br />• Homeland Security Grant Program1 <br />• Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program <br />• Nonprofit Security Grant Program <br />• Transit Security Grant Program <br />• Intercity Bus Security Grant Program <br />• Intercity Passenger Rail Program <br />• Port Security Grant Program <br />• Emergency Management Performance Grant Program <br /> <br />All applications must be received by the established deadline established in each program’s Notice of <br />Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The Non-Disaster (ND) Grants System has a date stamp that indicates <br />when an application is submitted. Applicants will receive an electronic message confirming receipt of <br />their submission. For additional information on how an applicant will be notified of application receipt, <br />see the section titled “Timely Receipt Requirements and Proof of Timely Submission.” <br /> <br />FEMA will not review applications that are received after the deadline nor will it consider these <br />late applications for funding. FEMA may, however, extend the application deadline on request for an <br />applicant who can demonstrate that good cause exists to justify extending the deadline. Good cause for an <br />extension may include technical problems outside of the applicant’s control that prevent submission of the <br />application by the deadline, other exigent or emergency circumstances, or statutory requirements for <br />FEMA to make an award. <br /> <br />Applicants experiencing technical problems outside of their control must notify the respective <br />FEMA Preparedness Officer or Program Manager as soon as possible and before the application <br />deadline. Failure to timely notify FEMA of the issue that prevented the timely filing of the application <br />may preclude consideration of the award. “Timely notification” of FEMA means the following: prior to <br />the application deadline and within 48 hours after the applicant became aware of the issue. <br /> <br />For additional assistance using the ND Grants System, please contact the ND Grants Service Desk at <br />(800) 865-4076 or NDGrants@fema.dhs.gov. The ND Grants Service Desk is available Monday through <br />Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. ET. For programmatic or grants management questions, please contact your <br />Preparedness Officer or Program Manager. If applicants do not know their FEMA Preparedness Officer <br />or if there are programmatic questions or concerns, please contact the Centralized Scheduling and <br />Information Desk (CSID) by phone at (800) 368-6498 or by e-mail at askcsid@fema.dhs.gov, Monday <br />through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. ET. <br /> <br />Agreeing to Terms and Conditions of the Award <br />By submitting an application, the applicant agrees to comply with the requirements of the applicable <br />NOFO, this Manual, and the applicable appendix to this Manual, as well as the terms and conditions of its <br />award should it receive an award. <br /> <br />1 Under this program, these instructions apply to SHSP, UASI, and OPSG.
