<br />FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - VERSION 2.0. 12-22-2004 <br /> <br />Detailed descriptions of ODP courses are included in the ODP CBRNE Training Course <br />Catalog at hlto://www.oio.usdoLaov/odo/docs/coursecataloa.odf, Programs of <br />instruction for these courses will be made available upon request to assist efforts to <br />institutionalize these training programs at the state and local levels, <br /> <br />ODP will conduct periodic reviews of all state and urban area training funded by ODP. <br />These reviews may include requests for all course materials and physical observation of <br />or participation in the funded training. If these reviews determine that courses are <br />outside the scope of this guidance, grantees will be asked to repay grant funds <br />expended in support of those efforts. <br /> <br />ODP provides the following definitions of key training terms to facilitate a common <br />understanding of the FY05 HSGP guidance: <br /> <br />. ODP Courses: those courses developed for and or delivered by institutions and <br />organizations funded by ODP, <br />. Federal Courses Related to CBRNE Terrorism: those courses developed for <br />and or delivered by institutions funded by federal entities other than ODP that fall <br />within the ODP mission scope to prepare state and local personnel to prevent, <br />respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism involving CBRNE weapons. <br />. Non-Federal Courses: those courses developed for and or delivered by <br />institutions or organizations other than federal entities or ODP, <br /> <br />Developing and Institutionalizing Non-ODP Courses. States and urban areas <br />intending to either 1) develop a new course or 2) institutionalize an existing non-ODP <br />course must follow the updated FY05 ODP course approval process. Please see <br />Appendix E: Overview of Approval Process for Non-ODP Developed Courses for more <br />information, This revised course approval process will facilitate the sharing of best <br />practices among states and urban areas and will help reduce duplicative courses <br />regionally and nationally. <br /> <br />States planning to develop a new course must notify ODP of their intent to do so, but do <br />not need to forward any pre-existing course materials for advance review. States and <br />urban areas will be required to submit the following information to ODP via the Training <br />Section of the ODP website (hlto://www.oio.usdoLaov/odo/trainina.htm): the proposed <br />tille, description of the course to be developed, the sponsoring jurisdiction, and the <br />intended audience. ODP funds can be used to support costs associated with the <br />course development process, provided that the state or urban area abides by ODP <br />procedures. However, if the course is disapproved as part of the course review <br />process, no additional ODP funds can be dedicated to delivering the course until <br />modifications are made and the course is approved. <br /> <br />In accordance with the FY05 ODP course approval process, states or urban areas <br />developing new or institutionalizing existing courses shall establish a mechanism to <br />ensure that any non-ODP courses are in compliance with the following: <br /> <br />.
