Attachment A FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM 2) overtime and backfill costs associated with attendance at ODP- sponsored and ODP- approved CBRNE and cyber security training courses. The target audience for training courses include emergency preparedness, prevention and response personnel, emergency managers and public /elected officials within the following disciplines: firefighters, law enforcement, emergency management, emergency medical services, hazardous materials, public works, public health, health care, public safety communications, governmental administrative, cyber security and private security providers. The homeland security training program should also include training for citizens in awareness, preparedness, prevention, response skills, and volunteer activities and be coordinated through state and local Citizen Corps Councils. States are encouraged to adopt current ODP awareness and performance level courses. In order to deliver these courses, state and local instructors must have been certified to deliver the course by successfully completing ODP train - the - trainer course delivery. Detailed descriptions of ODP courses are included in the ODP CBRNE Training Course Catalog at http://www.o'p.usdo'.qov/odp/docs/coursecatalog.r)df. Programs of instruction for these courses will be made available upon request to assist efforts to institutionalize these training programs at the state and local levels. ODP will conduct periodic reviews of all state and urban area training funded by ODP. These reviews may include requests for all course materials and physical observation of or participation in the funded training. If these reviews determine that courses are outside the scope of this guidance, grantees will be asked to repay grant funds expended in support of those efforts. ODP provides the following definitions of key training terms to facilitate a common understanding of the FY05 HSGP guidance: ODP Courses: those courses developed for and or delivered by institutions and organizations funded by ODP. Federal Courses Related to CBRNE Terrorism: those courses developed for and or delivered by institutions funded by federal entities other than ODP that fall within the ODP mission scope to prepare state and local personnel to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism involving CBRNE weapons. Non - Federal Courses: those courses developed for and or delivered by institutions or organizations other than federal entities or ODP. Developing and Institutionalizing Non -ODP Courses. States and urban areas intending to either 1) develop a new course or 2) institutionalize an existing non -ODP course must follow the updated FY05 ODP course approval process. Please see Appendix E: Overview of Approval Process for Non -ODP Developed Courses for more information. This revised course approval process will facilitate the sharing of best practices among states and urban areas and will help reduce duplication regionally and nationally.
