Centers for Homeland Security is sponsored by HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF. The goal of the DHS Centers of Excellence (COE) program is to engage the academic community to conduct strategic and innovative research and education in support of DHS's strategic mission goals. The overarching objectives of the COE program are to: (1) develop and transition impactful mission-relevant science and technology; (2) create strategic partnerships among universities, commercial interests, and public agencies; (3) educate the next generation of homeland security technical experts; and (4) train the current workforce in the latest scientific applications. DHS COEs are multidisciplinary, university-led consortia that engage leading experts to conduct groundbreaking research on threats facing the Homeland. The DHS COEs work closely with DHS Components, as well as other homeland security operators at state, local, and tribal levels to research, develop and transition mission-relevant science and technology solutions. Additionally, the DHS COEs also work to educate the current and next generation of highly skilled homeland security science and engineering professionals. To accomplish this objective, DHS S&T has developed the following DHS Centers of Excellence (COEs) and associated objectives: The Arctic Domain Awareness Center: Addressing Rapid Changes through Technology, Innovation, and Collaboration (ADAC-ARCTIC) conducts research and education activities to addresses critical gaps for federal state, local and tribal operators with Arctic homeland security missions, tackling challenges such as maritime safety, infrastructure protection, and emergency response. The Center for Accelerating Operational Efficiency (CAOE) develops enhanced analytic tools to enable homeland security operators to realize achievable improvements in operational efficiency, and to support real-time decisions related to homeland security threats and hazards. The research will aid in identifying the economic impact of security threats and hazards, and to critically assess risks to operators missions and the people and property they protect. The Cross Border Threat Screening and Supply Chain Defense (CBTS) Center develops solutions, protocols, and capabilities that detect, assess, and respond to known and unknown biological threats and hazards that could adversely impact the Nation’s people, agriculture, and economy. The Criminal Investigations and Network Analysis (CINA) Center provides solutions to Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement that enhance investigation strategies to counter the proliferation of transnational criminal networks, cross-border criminal activities, and the growth in criminal use and exploitation of the cyber domain. The Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI) conducts research that enhances the ability to prepare and more rapidly recover from catastrophic disruptions, supporting DHS, State, Local and industry partners ability to solve complex, interdisciplinary challenges that affect critical infrastructure. The Coastal Resilience Center (CRC) conducts research that strengthens the Nation’s ability to safeguard people, infrastructure, and economies from catastrophic hazards such as floods and hurricanes. The overarching goal of the Center is to advance the understanding of coastal hazards and support successful planning and recovery by the public and private entities most impacted by these events. The Soft-target Engineering to Neutralize the Threat Reality (SENTRY) Center focuses efforts to protect transportation environments and public venues, improving systems of collaboration across the many public and private entities, mainly at the state and local levels, as well as producing new engineering approaches to securing crowded spaces with novel design concepts. The goal of SENTRY is to advance research that safeguards spaces where traditional methods to physical security are impractical to implement at scale. The National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education (NCITE) Center conducts research and develops solutions, tools, and capabilities to support homeland security and law enforcement operations at Federal, State and Local levels to detect, assess, and respond to terrorist activities that would harm the people, infrastructure and economy of the United States.

Emergency Management Baseline Assessments Grant (EMBAG) is sponsored by HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF. The purpose of the 2024 EMBAG cooperative agreement is to support the use of national-level standards for emergency management to help ensure that state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) communities have accredited emergency management programs and certified emergency managers in place before an incident occurs. To achieve this purpose, the EMBAG supports voluntary national-level standards and peer review assessment processes that communities can use to identify the capacity and shortfalls of their emergency management programs and emergency managers and develop a path to compliance with these standards. These national-level standards fall under “other assistance” called out under Section 503 (b)(2)(G) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to “build tribal, local, State, regional, and national capabilities…necessary to respond to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster.” See 6 U.S.C. § 313(b)(2)(G). The EMBAG directly supports the DHS Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2020-2024, Goal 5: Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience, Objective 5.1: Build a National Culture of Preparedness and Objective 5.2: Respond During Incidents, by supporting efforts that can help ensure that state, tribal, territorial, and local communities have accredited emergency management programs and certified emergency managers in place before an incident occurs. The EMBAG program reinforces FEMA’s mission of advancing all-hazards preparedness, consistent with the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA) and Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8), National Preparedness. The performance of the EMBAG is measured against the intended outcomes identified in the Objectives section of Section A: Program Description in the 2024 EMBAG NOFO. Applicants should refer to Appendix B: Detail on EMBAG Performance Measurement of the 2024 EMBAG NOFO for additional information on these metrics, including guidance and a template for reporting.

Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) is sponsored by HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF. The goal of the SAFER Grant Program is to assist local fire departments with staffing and deployment capabilities in order to respond to emergencies and assure that communities have adequate protection from fire and fire-related hazards. Local fire departments accomplish this by improving staffing and deployment capabilities, so they may more effectively and safely respond to emergencies. With enhanced staffing levels, recipients should experience a reduction in response times and an increase in the number of trained personnel assembled at the incident scene. The authorizing authority for the program is Section 34 of the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974, Pub. L. No. 93-498, as amended (15 U.S.C § 2229a). The SAFER Program directly supports Goal 3 of the 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan to Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation.
