May grant funds be used to buy safety and security equipment?
Yes, you may propose to use a small portion of these funds to buy safety and security equipment and technology. However, if you propose to use these funds primarily to buy safety and security equipment rather than fully addressing the selection criteria for the program your application is unlikely to be rated highly during the peer review process. The selection criteria for this competition call for a comprehensive, systematic, coordinated review and improvement of campus-based emergency management planning efforts, and applications that mainly request funds for technology and equipment will not meet those criteria.
