When you're applying for CREATE, it's important to keep in mind what CREATE funds will, and will not, cover. Referring to the Grant Guidelines can be helpful.
A list of a few things that CREATE will cover include: tuition, lodging (at the most economical conference room rate), travel (at the current state mileage reimbursement rate), and in-state conference registration fees.
An important reminder of what CREATE funds will not cover:
Salary backfill for staff to attend or to instruct courses is not allowed through CREATE funds but may be requested in the Personnel/Services category of the EMTS Provider Grants Program. More information on provider grants is located at www.coems.info under the Funding Program tab.
