Federal Grants & Funding Your Public Safety Project

Webinar View Online

Did you know that most public safety projects are funded through federal funding? There is a vast amount of federal funds that exist, but first, you need to know what agencies granting cycles are, when those cycles will open, the length of period of performance, required cost/share match (if any), how to incorporate all the vital elements into your grant application, and so much more. Public Sector Grants will help educate you on grants commonly used for public safety projects, such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) and Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC). You’ll also learn about other granting agencies and affiliated grants such as the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Join our presenter, Kamala Kuhn, Director of Grants Assistance for PS Grants, as she reviews important grant elements, the benefits of a community-based approach to grants, and successful tips to grant writing.

Who should attend this webinar? If you are a member of public safety, government, educational staff, or healthcare at the local, county, regional, state, federal, or tribal level, then this webinar is for you.

The First Annual Howard C. Liebengood Symposium: The Evolving Law Enforcement Landscape and the First Responder Mental Health Crisis

Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC, United States

This symposium will review recent events that impact the law enforcement community, emerging trends, and the evolving policing climate. Many agencies are currently challenged by existing stressors, including fatigue, burnout from mandatory overtime, lack of public and workplace support, organizational culture, and difficult community relations. Additionally, we will discuss strategies to support agencies and law enforcement officers amidst rising occupational stressors.
