The Office of Grants and Research will make $330,000 in state funds available to equip public safety and first responder vehicles with automated external defibrillators.

The AED Equipment Program will award individual recipients up to $2,500 to purchase allowable AED equipment.

Eligibility is limited to Massachusetts cities and towns, state public colleges and universities, and nonprofit organizations with first responder vehicles.

The application deadline is Nov. 17, but applications will be considered as they are received, and funding will be prioritized by submission date.

The Office of Grants and Research promotes public safety and security in Massachusetts communities through the management of grant funds and research programs focused on crime prevention and intervention, traffic safety, law enforcement and homeland security initiatives.
