Atlas Analysis
Strong Massachusetts public-safety research and technical-assistance funding opportunity, but it does not establish a legitimate N9+ or QC Healthcare pathway. Atlas Opportunity Score 76/100; N9+ Fit 0/100; QC Healthcare Fit 0/100; Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit 0/100 on currently verified qualifications.
The Massachusetts Office of Grants and Research is accepting applications for the FY2027 Shannon Community Safety Initiative Local Action Research Partner (LARP) program. LARPs provide Shannon CSI program sites with strategic, analytic, technical, and research support, including continuous feedback intended to keep funded work within scope, on schedule, and within budget.
Eligible applicants are public and quasi-public entities or nonprofit research entities established to fulfill a primary public purpose. OGR expects to award approximately $616,300 through this opportunity. Individual requests must be at least $25,200 and may not exceed $57,500.
Current timeline and requirements
The published Letter of Intent deadline was September 10, 2026. Full applications are due September 25, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Massachusetts COMMBUYS rules apply Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings time, as applicable, to the Bid Opening Date/Time, and the COMMBUYS system clock is the official time of record. The official application materials include the current AGF, application, Budget Worksheet Attachment A, and FY27 Shannon CSI and LARP questions and answers. COMMBUYS solicitation BD-27-1044-EPS11-1044O-132486 is open and permits electronic quotes.
The Mass.gov program page states that the AGF was updated September 2, 2026 to remove the reference to matching funds. Applicants should use the current AGF and official application materials for final cost, attachment, and submission requirements and should confirm that any Letter of Intent prerequisite was satisfied before advancing a full application.
This is a public-safety research and technical-assistance opportunity. Atlas has not identified a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare, and no clinical-technology fit is being inferred.
