Opportunity Information: Apply for FR SEC 22 001
The FY22 Transportation Emergency Response Training opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR SEC 22 001) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It falls under the transportation funding activity category (CFDA 20.301) and is designed to support a focused training program aimed at improving readiness and on-scene decision-making during railroad-related emergencies, especially incidents involving rail tank cars and hazardous materials.
At its core, the grant is meant to fund training for frontline response personnel such as emergency responders, emergency medical technicians, and police and fire department staff. The training content centers on practical railroad-specific knowledge that can make a direct difference during emergencies. That includes tank car nomenclature (how tank cars are identified, labeled, and described), basic railroad operations (how railroads function operationally, what responders may encounter on or near tracks and rail yards, how rail movements and equipment may affect emergency scenes), and other related topics that support safer and more effective mitigation of railroad incidents. The overall purpose is to strengthen the capability of local and regional response organizations to manage railroad emergencies more safely, coordinate more effectively, and reduce risk to responders and the public.
The award structure is relatively small and targeted. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $100,000, and the FRA anticipated making one award under this announcement. That combination suggests the agency intended to fund a single, well-scoped training effort rather than a broad multi-recipient program, with an emphasis on delivering concrete training outputs (courses, instruction, exercises, or similar deliverables) that directly enhance emergency response capabilities.
The opportunity was posted on July 27, 2022, with an original application deadline of September 1, 2022, and no closing-date explanation was provided in the listing. Eligibility is not limited to a standard set of categories in the summary and is instead listed as "Others," with the note that applicants needed to consult the Additional Information on Eligibility section in the full announcement for clarification. In practice, that usually means the eligible applicant pool may include certain nontraditional entities (for example, specialized training providers, nonprofit organizations, institutions, or other qualified groups) depending on how the FRA defined eligibility in the complete notice.
In plain terms, this grant opportunity supports a specialized emergency response training initiative focused on rail incidents, with particular attention to understanding tank cars and railroad operations so that responders can make better, faster, and safer choices during railroad emergencies.Apply for FR SEC 22 001
