Promoting Innovation in Emergency Medical Services

archived

NHTSA invites applications for award of a new cooperative agreement to support the promotion of innovative EMS practices in states and local systems. This project will assist state and local EMS systems to innovate by developing model legal, regulatory, and financial frameworks that they may subsequently implement to encourage pilot programs that will test new delivery models. State oversight of innovative demonstration programs will help ensure consistent quality and safety controls, medical direction, data collection, and eventually financing, among other system components. The Federal government will not fund individual pilots or demonstrations as part of this project. DATES: Application(s) must be submitted by e-mail to the following e-mail addresses: NHTSAOAM@dot.gov and Melissa.Tyson@dot.gov. All application(s) submitted must include a reference to NHTSA Request For Application Number DTNH22-14-R-00029. Only complete packages received on or before 10:00 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time on Friday June 6, 2014 will be considered.
