Release Date: March 22, 2022 S&T Public Affairs , 202-254-2385 WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program will host its first virtual SBIR Showcase for First Responders on March 30, 2022, 1:00 – 4:30 p. m. ET .
The event will feature 10 innovative technologies from companies developing solutions for first responders. “This is an excellent opportunity for the first responder community to learn about the unique innovations being pursued to enhance future capabilities,” said Dusty Lang, DHS SBIR Program Director. “The technologies being showcased have demonstrated proof of concept and have been awarded Phase II contracts to make prototypes.
” The DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) leads the Department’s SBIR program, which encourages startups with fewer than 500 employees to provide quality research, new processes, products and technologies in support of government missions. During the inaugural showcase, nine small businesses will present their technologies and answer questions.
"From forest fires and natural disasters to emergency response situations, our nation’s first responders face challenging and life-threatening situations every day,” said Paul McDonagh, S&T First Responders Portfolio Manager. “I encourage the First Responder Community to join and learn how the contributions enhance our mission to better prepare, protect and connect first responders."

The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program puts more than $1 billion across three programs — State Homeland Security Program, Urban Area Security Initiative ($584M across 44 cities), and Operation Stonegarden — with a July 24, 2026 deadline. But the money comes fenced: 30% to National Priority Areas, 35% to law-enforcement terrorism prevention, plus new 10% border and 3% election minimums. Here is how the spending mandates actually stack, who is eligible, and how to build an Investment Justification that survives them.
Read articleFEMA's FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program makes more than $1 billion available for terrorism prevention and preparedness — but for the first time ties eligibility to election-security measures: hand-marked paper ballots, 5% post-election audits, and citizenship verification through the SAVE system within 120 days. Local-government groups are calling it federal overreach that could divert 20% of state grants from bomb squads and active-shooter readiness. Applications are due July 24, 2026. This is the full breakdown of the conditions, the money at stake, the controversy, and how state and local applicants should navigate it.
