Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 IPAWS 138 00 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Next Generation Warning System Grant Program (NGWSGP) is a FEMA grant opportunity under the Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen how emergency alerts and warnings reach the public during natural and human-caused disasters. The program is closely tied to FEMA's Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), the national platform that authenticates and distributes official emergency messages. Those messages are then carried to the public through broadcasters and other communications partners, including local radio and TV stations as well as cable, satellite, and wireless providers. The basic idea behind the grant is that alerting technology is evolving quickly, and public broadcasting entities need resources to keep up so that critical warning information can be delivered faster, more reliably, and to more types of devices.
A central focus of NGWSGP is helping broadcast entities adopt modern digital alerting and broadcast standards that improve interoperability and reach. One key priority is implementation of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), a standardized format that allows a single CAP-compatible message to trigger multiple compliant warning systems at once. For television broadcasters in particular, the program highlights upgrades to the Advanced Television Systems Committee standard known as ATSC 3.0, a next-generation broadcast standard that can improve how alerts are delivered and enable richer alert content, including multimedia. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help broadcasters modernize equipment, integrate newer standards into their workflows, and expand the kinds of devices and audiences that can receive timely emergency information.
The program also emphasizes resilience, security, and equity in emergency communications. NGWSGP supports investments that make public broadcasting networks and systems more robust against disruptions and more secure overall, which matters during disasters when infrastructure can be damaged or overloaded. Equity goals are built into the priorities as well, including projects that improve access to alerts for people with disabilities, people with access and functional needs, and individuals with limited English proficiency. In addition, the program supports more geographically targeted alerting capabilities and improvements that help remote and rural communities receive alerts and warnings more effectively, recognizing that public broadcasting stations in rural or under-resourced areas often play an outsized role in delivering lifesaving information compared to places with many private broadcasters.
Structurally, FEMA planned to make only one primary award under this opportunity, with an award ceiling of up to $40,000,000. Rather than FEMA directly funding many individual stations, the single awardee is expected to run a competitive subgrant process for eligible subgrantees, distributing funds in line with the program's requirements and priorities. Applicants for the main award must explain how they will manage that subgrant competition, how selections will be made, and how compliance and performance will be monitored. FEMA will review and approve the proposed management approach as part of the overall grant decision, and ongoing reporting is required to track both the effectiveness of the subgrant process and whether subgrantees are using funds appropriately and achieving measurable improvements in alerting and warning capabilities.
Key administrative details include the opportunity number DHS 22 IPAWS 138 00 01 and CFDA number 97.138. The opportunity was posted on September 1, 2022, with an original closing date of September 14, 2022. The grant is categorized as discretionary and uses the grant funding instrument. Overall, NGWSGP is intended to accelerate adoption of next-generation broadcast and alerting technologies, reduce the financial burden of upgrades (especially for smaller and rural stations), and improve the reliability, inclusiveness, and geographic precision of emergency public warning across the United States.Apply for DHS 22 IPAWS 138 00 01
