May grant funds be used to hire safety personnel, campus security, campus counselors, or psychologists?
Funds may not be used to hire campus police, campus security, or counseling staff. However, funds may be included to support a campus police officer, security professional, or counselor to conduct grant-related implementation and management activities. In other words, the grant cannot be used to support campus personnel hiring; however, it can be used to support staff specifically dedicated to implementing grant activities. In any situation where staff (current or newly hired) is supported by an EMHE grant, staff hours spent on the grant must be appropriately documented in order for salary and benefit expenses to be charged to the grant.
