| Description:: |
The purpose of this grant is to augment and provide support for the Nation’s 50 State Fire Training Systems in delivering training and education programs to the Nation’s fire and emergency services personnel. These grants provide for both monetary and technical assistance that helps States bridge the gaps in their training programs with the delivery of National Fire Academy training courses/programs and also for the associated marketing, administrative costs and electronic feedback of student data. Each State must submit a work plan which includes a narrative project description detailing their training plan along with proposed costs for this project. The work plan will be used as a guide by the program office to approve/disapprove payment requests; therefore, this plan must be specific and must coincide with the amount of funding received for the project description. |
