Opportunity Summary:
The Emergency Medical Services for Children Data Coordinating Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-044) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement intended to strengthen the national data and research infrastructure that supports emergency care for children. The central aim is to fund one awardee to provide core data coordination and analytic capacity for the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program, specifically by operating key data functions tied to two major national efforts: the National EMSC Data Analysis Resource Center (NEDARC) and the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) Data Coordinating Center (DCC). In practical terms, the award supports a clinical-investigator-led team that can manage and coordinate complex multi-site data activities, produce analyses that inform program direction and performance, and ensure consistent, high-quality data systems that underpin pediatric emergency medical research and evaluation.
The opportunity uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically signals that HRSA expects substantial involvement with the funded organization rather than a hands-off grant relationship. While the notice does not spell out operational details in the excerpt provided, the stated purpose makes clear that the recipient is expected to serve as the backbone for data-related functions across EMSC priorities, bridging program evaluation and applied research. This includes maintaining national-level analytic resources (NEDARC) and simultaneously acting as the data coordinating hub for PECARN, a network that conducts pediatric emergency care research and therefore requires rigorous, standardized data management, coordination, and reporting.
Eligibility is limited to State governments and accredited schools of medicine. For schools of medicine, the announcement ties eligibility to definitions in the Public Health Service Act, emphasizing that the institution must be an accredited public or nonprofit private medical school providing training leading to a Doctor of Medicine (MD). The accreditation standard is also defined in statute and includes a provision allowing certain newer schools to be treated as accredited if there is reasonable assurance they will meet accreditation standards in time, as determined through the Secretary of Education in consultation with relevant accrediting bodies.
From a funding and competition standpoint, HRSA anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding level of $2,800,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted March 30, 2012, with an application closing date of May 29, 2012, and later archived July 28, 2012. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing is 93.127, which corresponds to Emergency Medical Services for Children, reinforcing that this award sits squarely within HRSA's EMSC portfolio.
For applicants seeking the full requirements, the original announcement and instructions were made available through HRSA's grants portal, and HRSA provided access support through its call center (877-464-4772) and email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) for issues obtaining the full FOA materials.
