FP&S Grants are offered to support projects in the two following activities:

The four project categories eligible for funding under this activity are: Community Risk Reduction (formerly General Education/Awareness); Code Enforcement/Awareness; Fire & Arson Investigation; and National/State/Regional Programs and Studies.
- Firefighter Safety Research and Development (R&D) Activity: R&D projects are aimed at improving firefighter safety, health, or wellness through research and development that reduces firefighter fatalities and injuries.
