Overview
Research and Standards Development Funding
Focus: Academic research related directly to fire service health, wellness and safety issues.
Specific Support Areas:
Rationale: LCF recognizes that NFPA technical committees, which set industry standards for firefighter safety equipment, often lack adequate fire service representation. Employers of manufacturers and researchers typically fund committee members, while most underfunded fire departments cannot afford to send qualified firefighter volunteers to participate. This program ensures firefighters' voices are heard in product testing and safety standard development.
Who Should Apply:
Deadlines and Decisions: Same as General Grant Program - April 1st and September 1st deadlines, with decisions by May 31st and October 1st respectively.
