Opportunity Information: Apply for HQ0034 22 FOA PDC 0001
The Pacific Center Disaster (PDC) funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: HQ0034 22 FOA PDC 0001) is a Department of Defense grant competition run through Washington Headquarters Services, focused on keeping the Pacific Disaster Center program moving forward through a long-term, high-impact managing partnership. The government is looking to fund a single organization under a cooperative agreement, which means the recipient would not just receive funds and operate independently, but would work in close coordination with the government on planning, execution, and oversight as the program develops.
At its core, the program is about strengthening disaster resilience and reducing risk by using science, information, and technology. The selected managing partner is expected to provide the leadership, management structure, and resources that allow PDC to continue stimulating research, development, evaluation, and real-world deployment of advanced tools and applications. These tools are intended to support the full disaster management cycle, especially disaster monitoring, early warning capabilities, and decision support for disaster management professionals. The intended beneficiaries include not only emergency management and disaster-response communities, but also the general public who rely on timely, accurate information before and during disasters.
From an operational standpoint, this FOA emphasizes applied outcomes rather than purely academic research. The work described points to developing and fielding practical systems that can be used by decision-makers, likely involving data integration, situational awareness platforms, modeling and forecasting, alerting workflows, and other capabilities that help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from hazards. The overarching expectation is that the managing partner helps PDC translate research and technical innovation into tools that are tested, evaluated, and deployed in ways that directly improve disaster readiness and response coordination.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding with an activity focus in Disaster Prevention and Relief (CFDA 12.630). The award information signals a large, single-recipient effort: the announced award ceiling is up to $100,000,000, and the agency anticipated making one award. The original posting timeline shows it was created on October 5, 2021, with an original closing date of November 15, 2021.
Eligibility in the provided source data lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). At the same time, the narrative description states the agency intends to select a "university managing partner." That combination suggests applicants would need to pay close attention to how eligibility was defined in the full FOA and how the managing partner role could be structured (for example, whether a nonprofit affiliated with a university, a university foundation, or a similar 501(c)(3) entity could serve as the eligible applicant while still fulfilling a university-centered managing partner function). In practical terms, the government is seeking a capable organizational lead that can manage a major disaster-technology program, coordinate stakeholders, support research-to-deployment pipelines, and deliver tools that improve monitoring, early warning, and decision-making for disaster management at scale.Apply for HQ0034 22 FOA PDC 0001
