Green St. City /State /Zip: Ithaca, New York 14850 Reference: EM W- 2008 -FF -00976 Dear Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Applicant: On behalf of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), I would like to thank you for applying for a Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 SAFER grant. As you may know, we received more than 1,300 SAFER applications, which contained requests for more than $584 million in Federal dollars. Because of this high volume of applications and the amount of funding available for grant awards, many applicants who demonstrated great need and worthy project proposals ! will not receive awards this year. As such, we regret to inform you that we are not able to fund your FY 2008 application for a SAFER grant at this time. In 2008, each SAFER application was subject to a two - phased review. The first phase was an automated assessment of how well the applications match up with the program's priorities as outlined in the program guidance. The second phase was a review by a panel of fire service peers. In this review, the panelists assigned a score to specific elements of your application narrative including 1) demonstration of the benefits your community would derive from the grant, 2) demonstration of financial need, 3) demonstration of how your firefighters are now at risk and how this grant would reduce that risk, and 4) minority recruitment. Each of the two phases of the review carried equal weight, i.e., each phase was worth 50 p! ercent of the application's overall score. Given the ! large nu mber of applications received, it is not feasible for us to provide a detailed account of how each individual application was rated in the competitive process. However we can tell you that your application faired reasonably well in the automated assessment but that in the second phase, the peer review panel's scores were sufficiently low in each of the four rating elements cited above to indicate to us that your application should not be considered for funding on its written merits. A full description of the application review process is included in the Program Guidance. In order to improve the competitiveness of your next SAFER grant request, we recommend that you review closely the applicant tutorial that is made available at the start of each application period. Answers to specific questions about the application can also be obtained by contacting the SAFER help desk at 1- 866 - 274 -0960 or writing to ! firegrantsC«dhs.gov during the application period. We would remind you that funding for any future SAFER grants is a decision that will be made by the U.S. Congress. In addition, future program guidance may differ from this ,ear's program guidance. Nevertheless, the work you have already done to submit your application for the FY 2008 SAFER grant could be a useful resource for your department for future requests for assistance and other management planning activities. As such, page 1 Reference: EMW- 2008 -FF -00976 I encourage you to keep a copy of your application for your records. You may be able to use it as a reference for a future grant request, or even share it with your community is the outline of a strategic plan for the enhancement of your department. Please check our Web site often at http : / /www.firegrantsupport.com for information on this grant program. ! Your interest in this progr! am clear ly demonstrates the need and resourcefulness of America's fire service. The Department of Homeland Security will continue to work closely with fire service organizations to support the vital work of our nation's firefighters. Thank you again for your dedication and commitment. Sincerely, C.
