Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 25 NPD 148 00 97
The National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium (NCPC) opportunity is a Department of Homeland Security, FEMA-funded award under the FY 2025 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP), specifically within the Continuing Training Grants (CTG) track. The basic purpose of the funding is to support the development and delivery of cybersecurity training solutions that directly strengthen national preparedness. In practice, that means the funded effort is expected to identify and address cybersecurity-related preparedness gaps, align (or "map") training content to FEMA core capabilities, and make the resulting training broadly available and accessible to audiences across the United States.
This opportunity is categorized as "Other" for both the opportunity category and funding instrument type, with a funding activity focus in education. The program is listed under CFDA/Assistance Listing number 97.148. FEMA expects to make a single award under this notice, with an award ceiling of $7,200,000. The funding is intended to support a coordinated, national-scale training capability rather than a set of smaller, unrelated projects, which aligns with the single expected award and the emphasis on nationwide accessibility.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," and the opportunity identifies the University of Arkansas, Criminal Justice Institute as the Executive Agent for the NCPC. Applicants must submit their application through FEMA's Grants Outcomes (GO) system, which is accessed at https://go.fema.gov/. The opportunity was created on 2025-08-01, and the original closing date for applications is 2025-08-15.
