Required next actionApplication closed September 10, 2026 at 11:59 PM. Preserve for future Cal OES Student Trauma Notification cycle intelligence and monitor for successor funding; do not initiate new applicant outreach, package work, or submission activity for this closed round.

Atlas Analysis
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100. This is a strong school-health, trauma-response, and school-community coordination opportunity, but the funded purpose is a notification and collaboration system for children exposed to violence and trauma. The verified grant materials do not establish a clinical telehealth, RPM, remote physical-exam, or N9+ technology procurement path. No Dr. Miltie direct-vendor capture or N9+ applicant outreach is warranted.
Opportunity Overview
California’s FY2026-27 Student Trauma Notification Program funds school district notification systems designed to reduce the negative effects of violence and trauma on children by improving communication and collaboration among first responders, schools and community resources.
Funding and Deadline
The California Grants Portal lists $430,000 in total estimated funding, with 1-2 awards and an estimated award range of $1-$214,999. No match is required. Applications are due September 10, 2026 at 11:59 PM. The performance period is January 1 through December 31, 2027.
Who Can Apply
The program description states that applicants must be a California school district or County Office of Education. Applicants must also satisfy the Cal OES administrative requirements, including an active UEI/SAM registration, no federal exclusion record, and written governing-body authority for the Authorized Agent.
Competitive Project Direction
Strong proposals should define the notification workflow, identify participating first-responder and school partners, explain how trauma information will trigger timely school support, and establish privacy-conscious protocols and measurable outcomes for student support and cross-system coordination.
Atlas Strategic Analysis
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. This is a meaningful school-health and trauma-response opportunity, but the verified purpose is notification and collaboration rather than clinical telehealth, RPM or remote physical examination. Atlas does not recommend forcing an N9+ component into this grant.
Next Steps
Review the Cal OES guidelines, verify all entity and authorization prerequisites, map the first-responder-to-school workflow, define student-support outcomes, and submit through the Cal OES Grants Central System before the deadline.
