​​​​​​​​​​​A grant is a way the government funds your ideas and projects to provide public services and stimulate the economy. 

Emergency Communication Networks (ECN) grants have the overall goal of improving public safety and providing support for interoperable communications. It is important for grantees and ECN staff and contractors to work together in partnership towards this goal. The ECN grant coordinator’s primary role is to ensure compliance with federal, state, and other special conditions and legal requirements and to review progress and financial reports to ensure grantees receive proper reimbursements. The grant coordinator works with ECN program managers and other parties to grant administration to provide technical and programmatic oversight of grant programs.
