The Grant Programs Directorate administers the Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&amp;S) Grant Program as part of the AFG Program. The purpose of the FP&amp;S Grant Program is to enhance the safety of the public and firefighters with respect to fire and fire-related hazards by assisting fire prevention programs and supporting firefighter health and safety research and development. FP&amp;S Grants are offered to support projects in two activities: (1) activities designed to reach high-risk target groups and mitigate the incidence of death, injuries, and property damage caused by fire and fire-related hazards (&quot;Fire Prevention and Safety Activity&quot;) and (2) research and development activities aimed at improving firefighter safety, health, or wellness through research and development that reduces firefighter fatalities and injuries (&quot;Firefighter Safety Research and Development Activity&quot;). The program guidance document provides potential applicants with the details of the requirements, processing, and evaluation of an application for financial assistance for both of these activity areas.
