UASI ‘24 Grant Cycle

Most of the RDPO’s funding comes from the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). Some locally-contributed or reallocated funds may also be available. If you would like to submit a project for funding consideration, you must get it sponsored by an RDPO work group, subcommittee, task force, or governance committee well in advance of the application deadline.

>> Application deadline - Dec 1, 2023 <<

March 2024 update

The Program Committee provided the Steering Committee with a ranked list of projects based on the Evaluation Committee’s recommendations. The Steering Committee approved the ranked list as a preliminary approach to funding decisions.

Currently, the RDPO awaits notification of the UASI ‘24 funding opportunity, which will include our region’s tentative award amount. They will then reconcile the ranked list with the tentative award amount, the overall RDPO budget, and any other outstanding factors. We expect to provide tentative award notifications in May and final award notifications in August. Please refer to the UASI ‘24 Timeline and Application Instructions for more details about this process.
