Emergency Medical Services for Children Resource Center

archived

The HRSA EMSC Program ensures children receive the right emergency care at the right time in the right place no matter where they live, go to school or travel. EMSC works within the larger Emergency Medical Service System and requires an integrated approach to all of its initiatives. Care for children is provided in pediatric and non-pediatric settings, across a variety of geographical locations some of which may not have the resources or capacity to provide pediatric specialty care. The EMSC Program's goal is to ensure that children receive appropriate care in all of these settings. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for a cooperative agreement to provide support for a Resource Center to provide integrated support to HRSA's EMSC Program grantees through dissemination and knowledge transfer. Two pillars (the Resource Center and the Data Coordinating Center) will support the Federal EMSC Program grantees, national partners, and stakeholders. The Resource Center will serve as a repository that is both resourceful and equipped with a wealth of knowledge and skill necessary to support the Federal EMSC Program initiatives, its partners and key stakeholders through the provision of technical expertise, content knowledge, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities. The Resource Center will provide support in a variety of content areas for the activities and efforts of EMSC State Partnership (SP), Targeted Issues (TI), Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN), and SP Regionalization of Care (SPROC) grantees, as well as Program Partners within the States and territories.
