The Michigan State Police (MSP) Grants and Community Services Division (GCSD) is accepting applications for two separate public safety grant programs made possible through funding appropriated in the state’s fiscal year (FY) 2026 budget.
Michigan universities that currently operate a cold case program or will begin a cold case program in FY 2026 can apply for up to $200,000 to be used for programmatic and operational expenses of the university’s cold case program. A completed grant application must be submitted to the MSP GCSD before 12 p.m. EST on Feb. 18, 2026.
Michigan counties may request up to $25,000 to assist in their development of public safety critical incident mapping. Each county is eligible to receive up to three individual grants. The completed grant application must be submitted to the MSP GCSD before 12 p.m. EST on March 4, 2026.
“This state grant funding, authorized and approved by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Legislature, supports important facets of public safety that will build upon and complement great work already occurring in our state to improve public safety outcomes,” stated Col. James F. Grady II, director of the MSP. “I encourage universities and counties to take full advantage of this opportunity by applying for this funding.”
Detailed grant information and applications are available on the MSP GCSD website.
