Eligible applicants include federally recognized tribes meeting specific criteria, which must be self-certified through the THSGP Eligibility Certification Form during the application process. The program focuses on building core capabilities, addressing identified gaps through Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) processes, and encourages projects aligned with national priorities such as enhancing cybersecurity, election security, and protection of soft targets. Grant funds can be used for planning, equipment acquisition, training, and exercises, while prohibited costs include weapons and certain equipment not authorized by FEMA. The application process is conducted via FEMA GO and requires strict adherence to federal guidelines, including a detailed evaluation of project proposals by FEMA officials. Successful applicants will face ongoing performance reporting and compliance requirements to ensure funds achieve intended security outcomes.

    The document appears to be an inaccessible government file related to federal grants and Requests for Proposals (RFPs). It does not contain any content regarding specific programs, funding opportunities, or requests, as it merely directs users to download or upgrade their PDF viewer software. Consequently, it does not provide meaningful information, nor does it convey any themes or key ideas pertinent to government funding initiatives, grant applications, or state/local RFPs. The document's purpose is unclear due to the lack of substance and reliance on technical software compatibility messaging. Overall, this failure to present relevant data makes it challenging to provide an accurate analysis or summary concerning government funding processes or related topics.
