Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 87/100. Current PCCD Q&A clarifies that separately listed campuses with separate AUNs may each apply for up to $5,000; public LEAs cannot apply here but may use the separate 2026-27 School Safety & Mental Health Grants for CPR/AED training; actual AED unit purchases remain ineligible; schools with already-certified staff may use eligible training materials and additional certified-staff hours for in-house training; awards reimburse actual costs; and Year 1/Year 2 budget labels do not restrict when an awarded expense must be incurred within the overall project period. This solicitation is limited to CPR/AED instruction and related practice/training costs, not telehealth or remote physical-exam technology.
Opportunity Overview
The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency’s School Safety and Security Committee is accepting applications for the 2026-27 CPR/AED Training for Nonpublic Schools grant. This is a noncompetitive, rolling funding opportunity for eligible Pennsylvania nonpublic schools.
Funding and Timing
PCCD has announced $2.5 million. Eligible schools may request up to $5,000 for a project period of up to 24 months. Applications are accepted through May 13, 2029, or until funding is exhausted.
Current PCCD Q&A Clarifications
- Separate campuses with separate AUNs and separate PDE listings may each submit an application for up to $5,000.
- Public LEAs are not eligible for this nonpublic-school solicitation, even when nonpublic students participate in LEA extracurricular activities. PCCD confirms public school entities may instead consider CPR/AED training under the separate 2026-27 School Safety & Mental Health Grants.
- Schools with staff who already hold active CPR/AED trainer certification may request eligible training materials and additional personnel hours for those staff to conduct in-house training.
- Purchase of actual AED units is not eligible. Practice AED units used for training are eligible.
- Awards reimburse actual approved expenditures. The Year 1/Year 2 budget split is for planning and does not restrict when awarded expenses may be incurred within the overall approved project period.
Who Can Apply
Eligible applicants are qualifying Pennsylvania nonprofit nonpublic schools where students may legally fulfill compulsory school-attendance requirements, including Approved Private Schools and Private Residential Rehabilitative Institutions. Pre-K, kindergarten-only, and K-1-only centers are not eligible under the stated compulsory-attendance rules.
Eligible Uses
Eligible expenses include approved training-provider costs, instructor certification, books and manuals, practice mannequins, practice AED units, and additional personnel hours for actively certified staff providing training.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 87/100. This remains a useful noncompetitive school-health compliance and training pathway, but the $5,000 cap and narrow cost list limit broader healthcare modernization.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. This solicitation does not fund telehealth, remote physical-exam technology, or general clinical equipment. Atlas should not position N9+ under this grant.
Next Action
Confirm PDE classification, campus/AUN structure, PCCD good standing, Egrants access and Commonwealth vendor registration; identify an approved training provider or instructor route; and submit promptly while funding remains.
