Opportunity Summary:
The Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Network Development Demonstration Project (NDDP) was a federal grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) focused on building and demonstrating the usefulness of a coordinated infrastructure, or network, to support research in pediatric emergency care. The central idea behind the program was that many pediatric emergencies occur too infrequently at any single hospital or EMS agency to generate enough data to confidently evaluate which treatments work best, which transport decisions improve outcomes, and which care protocols consistently deliver high-quality results. By creating a multi-site infrastructure that links partners, standardizes data collection, and enables shared research operations, the EMSC NDDP aimed to make it realistic to conduct strong observational studies and, where appropriate, interventional studies across multiple settings.
The project emphasized producing a platform that could be used to investigate the efficacy of treatments, transport practices, and emergency care responses for children. In practical terms, the funded work was meant to reduce common barriers in pediatric emergency research, such as small sample sizes, inconsistent documentation across sites, and the difficulty of coordinating research activity in fast-moving emergency environments. The network model also supported the translation of research findings into real-world practice by examining the processes that move evidence from study results into treatment settings, such as protocol adoption, clinical training, and system-level quality improvement.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally means awardees would carry out their work with substantial federal involvement and collaboration rather than operating entirely independently, as might be more typical under a standard grant. The funding activity category was health, and the program fell under CFDA 93.127, Emergency Medical Services for Children. HRSA expected to make six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,780,000. The stated award ceiling was $630,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was limited to state governments and accredited schools of medicine. The funding opportunity number was HRSA-11-079. It was posted on January 19, 2011, with an original and final closing date of March 16, 2011, and it was later archived on May 15, 2011. Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and the listed phone numbers for support.
Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Network Development Demonstration Project (NDDP) FAQs
What is the EMSC Network Development Demonstration Project (NDDP)?
The EMSC Network Development Demonstration Project (NDDP) was a federal grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) focused on building and demonstrating a coordinated infrastructure (a network) to support research in pediatric emergency care.
What problem was this project designed to solve?
The program was built around the idea that many pediatric emergencies happen too infrequently at any single hospital or EMS agency to produce enough data to reliably evaluate which treatments work best, which transport decisions improve outcomes, and which care protocols consistently deliver high-quality results.
What was the main goal of the grant?
The main goal was to create a multi-site research-capable network that links partners, standardizes data collection, and enables shared research operations so that strong observational studies and, where appropriate, interventional studies could be conducted across multiple settings.
What does "network" mean in the context of this opportunity?
In this opportunity, a network refers to a coordinated, multi-site infrastructure that connects participating partners and supports consistent data collection and shared research operations across sites involved in pediatric emergency care.
What types of research did the network aim to support?
The network was intended to make it realistic to conduct strong observational studies and, where appropriate, interventional studies in pediatric emergency care across multiple settings.
What kinds of topics or questions was the platform meant to investigate?
The funded platform was meant to support investigation into the efficacy of treatments, transport practices, and emergency care responses for children.
Why is multi-site research especially important for pediatric emergency care?
Because pediatric emergency events can be relatively rare at individual hospitals or EMS agencies, pooling data and coordinating research across multiple sites helps overcome small sample sizes and supports more confident evaluations of care approaches.
What barriers in pediatric emergency research was the project intended to reduce?
The project aimed to reduce barriers such as small sample sizes, inconsistent documentation across sites, and the difficulty of coordinating research activity in fast-moving emergency environments.
Did the project address how research findings would be used in real-world care?
Yes. The network model supported translation of research findings into practice by examining processes that move evidence from study results into treatment settings, including protocol adoption, clinical training, and system-level quality improvement.
What agency offered this opportunity?
