Description
The State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) Grant, administered by Kansas State through the Kansas Governor’s Grants Program (KGGP), funds projects that aim to prevent or reduce gun violence and violent crime across Kansas. The program supports a range of initiatives, including court-based interventions (e.g., mental health, drug, and veterans’ treatment courts), behavioral health crisis response, community-based services for people in crisis, and law enforcement crisis intervention programs. Funding priorities are informed by an advisory board representing law enforcement, courts, behavioral health, prosecutors, victim services, the legal profession, and the community.
SCIP grants are intended to supplement, not supplant, other federal, state, or local funding. Projects should align with the Kansas SCIP Plan and address one or more of the program’s identified priorities and initiatives. The program encourages evidence-based, collaborative, and sustainable approaches to reducing firearm-related harm and improving public safety.
