FY27 GRNT Grant

The Massachusetts State 911 Department is offering a FY 2027 Training Grant to reimburse eligible public‑safety answering points (PSAPs, regional PSAPs, RECCs) for qualified training, certification, and related expenses. The grant covers fees for approved courses, personnel costs for trainees and back‑fill staff, training materials, mileage, and lodging (when criteria are met). Applicants must submit a complete application package by 5 p.m. on December 30 2026, and all funded activities must be completed by June 30 2027. • Reimbursable items include course registration, membership fees, software subscriptions (up to $2,500), travel mileage ($0.72/mile), and lodging for trainings ≥ 2 days and ≥ 90 miles away. • Personnel costs can be claimed for both straight‑time and overtime wages of certified telecommunicators and TERT members participating in training. • A separate PSAP Leadership Scholarship (up to $65,000) and a $2,500 cap for skill‑and‑ability software are available; all other costs are applicant‑determined but must be justified.
