Informational Webinar: FY 2024 Rural Emergency Medical Communications Demonstration Project
On June 18, 2024, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency released the Fiscal Year 2024 Rural Emergency Medical Communications Demonstration Project (REMCDP) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). This opportunity will fund a demonstration project that addresses the National Emergency Communications Plan implementation gaps and enhances existing emergency communications infrastructure to improve the delivery of rural medical care. REMCDP provides funding for public institutions of higher education; states; U.S. territories; local governments (e.g., county, city, township); or Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (federally-recognized) to work with a public health or medical facility to address barriers and challenges in rural emergency medical communications. Specifically, applicants must demonstrate their ability to leverage existing technologies and engage non-medical professionals to help enhance statewide or regional medical communications systems and improve the delivery of rural medical care. Eligible applicants may apply for $1,000,000 for a two-year period of performance, anticipated to begin on September 30, 2024. REMCDP funding will be awarded to one recipient following a competitive review process. The REMCDP NOFO is available on grants.gov; applications are due by August 9, 2024, at 11:59 PM ET.
On Friday, July 19th from 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET, the REMCDP Sponsoring Office and DHS Program Officer will host an informational webinar to review the Notice of Funding Opportunity and respond to inquiries. This webinar is open to all stakeholders and potential applicants. Visit the REMCDP webpage for webinar access information.
