part of Early Career Investigator projects
is the integration of mentoring for the
principal investigator by experienced
researchers in areas appropriate to the
research project, including exposure to
the fire service community as well as
support for ongoing development of
knowledge and skills. Mentoring is
regarded as critical to the research skills
development of early career principal
investigators. As part of the application
Appendix, the applicant should have
identified the mentor(s) who have
agreed to support the applicant and the
expected benefit of their interactions
with the researcher. A biographical
sketch and letter of support from the
mentor(s) were encouraged and should
have been included in the Appendix

Other Selection Information
Awards will be made using the results
of peer-reviewed applications as the
primary basis for decisions, regardless
of activity. However, there are some
exceptions to strictly using the peer
review results. The applicant’s prior
AFG, SAFER, and FP&S grant
management performance will also be
taken into consideration when making
recommendations for award. All final
funding determinations will be made by
the FEMA Administrator, or the
Administrator’s designee.
Fire departments and other eligible
applicants that have received funding
under the FP&S Grant Program in
previous years are eligible to apply for
funding in the current year. However,
FEMA may take into account an
applicant’s performance on prior grants
when making funding decisions on
current applications.
Once every application in the
competitive range has been through the
technical evaluation phase, the
applications will be ranked according to
the average score awarded by the panel.
The ranking will be summarized in a
Technical Report prepared by the AFG
Program Office. A Grants Management
Specialist will contact the applicant to
discuss and/or negotiate the content of
the application and SAM.gov
registration before making final award
decisions.
