The Fiscal Year 2025 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP), National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) grant is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) award administered by FEMA that supports the development and delivery of nationwide training for emergency preparedness and response. The core purpose is to fund training solutions that close specific national preparedness gaps tied to the NDPC mission, while making sure those courses are available and accessible to audiences across the country. In practical terms, this opportunity is about strengthening the skills and readiness of the responder community and related partners through standardized, high-quality training that can be delivered broadly.

This funding sits within FEMA and DHS broader preparedness architecture. The NDPC is described as a key part of the National Training and Education System (NTES), which itself is nested inside the larger National Preparedness System. That system is intended to provide a consistent national approach for building and sustaining core capabilities, guiding decision-making, helping prioritize resources, and measuring progress toward national outcomes. All of this is aligned to the National Preparedness Goal, which emphasizes a "secure and resilient nation" capable of preventing, protecting against, mitigating, responding to, and recovering from the threats and hazards that present the greatest risk. The opportunity also notes that previously developed NDPC courses are already available for delivery via firstrespondertraining.gov, underscoring that the program supports both creation of training and continued delivery of established curricula.

The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect an active federal partnership rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The funding activity category is education, and the listed CFDA number is 97.145. The opportunity is posted under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 25 NPD 005 00 98. While the announcement references "eligible applicants," it indicates eligibility as "Others" and specifically names the NDPC member institutions, signaling that this opportunity is oriented toward the consortium entities responsible for developing and delivering these national-level training programs.

The NDPC members identified in the notice are: the National Center for Biomedical Research and Training at Louisiana State University; the National Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology; the National Emergency Response and Recovery Training Center at Texas A&M University; the Security and Emergency Response Training Center at the Transportation Technology Center, Incorporated; and the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center at the University of Hawaii. These organizations collectively cover a wide range of homeland security and disaster preparedness disciplines and serve as the primary delivery network for NDPC training nationwide.
