SUBJECT: FEMA GPD Grant Program Accomplishments Report Summary of Initial 
Findings: FY 2003-2007 

The Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) within the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA) is pleased to announce the availability of the FEMA GPD Grant Program 
Accomplishments Report Summary of Initial Findings: FY 2003-2007. The Grant 
Accomplishments Report has been posted online at the following address: 
http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/index.shtm under “Grants Administration Information.” 

The findings reveal how grantees have concentrated their grant awards between fiscal years 
2003-2007, spending most of their grant funds on a few target capabilities. The top five most 
funded target capabilities were Communications, Critical Infrastructure Protection, WMD and 
Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination, Planning, and CBRNE Detection. These 
target capabilities accounted for 56.2 percent of total funding analyzed, with the remaining 32 
target capabilities accounting for the balance; 14 of the target capabilities received less than 0.5 
percent of total funding. These investment patterns were then analyzed from a variety of 
perspectives to uncover trends and potential relationships between target capabilities, common 
variables, national homeland security policy and doctrine, and geographic FEMA Regions. These 
findings represent the combined accomplishments of seven grant programs that include HSGP, 
EMPG, TSGP, IPRSGP, PSGP, BZPP and Chem.-BZPP. Combined, these programs represent

analyzed for this report.
