Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 CISA 120 001
The Rural Emergency Medical Communications Demonstration Project (REMCDP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DHS 20 CISA 120 001; CFDA 97.120) designed to fund a demonstration project that strengthens emergency medical communications in rural areas while also closing implementation gaps tied to the National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP). The core idea is to show, in a practical and measurable way, how a statewide emergency communications capability can be leveraged to improve medical outcomes and reduce persistent rural health disparities, with a specific emphasis on issues such as mortality rates and cardiovascular disease impacts.
A central requirement is that the applying organization must operate, or have reliable access to, an existing statewide emergency communications system. In other words, the project is not primarily about building a brand-new statewide platform from scratch; it is about using an established statewide emergency communications environment and demonstrating improvements, integrations, workflows, governance approaches, or technology and operational enhancements that align with NECP goals and address real-world rural medical communications challenges. The program is explicitly aimed at rural emergency medical communications, so applicants are expected to connect communications improvements to the realities of rural response: distance, limited clinical resources, transport and transfer complexity, and the need for rapid coordination among 911, EMS, hospitals, and specialized care providers.
The applicant must also be an emergency communications center, with the notice giving a trauma center as a clear example. A Level 1 trauma center is not required, which broadens the pool of potential applicants to include other qualified emergency communications centers that can credibly serve as the operational hub for this kind of demonstration effort. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the lead applicant must fall into that category, even if the project work involves partnerships with health systems, EMS agencies, state and local public safety communications entities, and other stakeholders.
Administratively, the opportunity was released by the Office of Procurement Operations - Grants Division, with a creation date of May 8, 2020, and an original closing date of June 30, 2020. The maximum federal award amount listed is $2,000,000 (Award Ceiling: 2000000). The notice indicates expected awards, though the specific number is not provided in the source data excerpt. Overall, REMCDP is framed as a targeted demonstration grant: applicants are expected to use an existing statewide emergency communications system and an emergency communications center role to prove out approaches that improve rural emergency medical communications and advance NECP implementation where gaps remain, ultimately supporting better coordination of emergency care and improved health outcomes in rural communities.Apply for DHS 20 CISA 120 001
