Opportunity Summary:
The Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Resource Center funding opportunity (HRSA-12-150) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how emergency care is delivered to children across the United States and its territories. The EMSC Program is built around a straightforward goal: children should receive the right emergency care at the right time and in the right place, regardless of where they live, attend school, or travel. Because pediatric emergencies are handled not only in childrens hospitals but also in general emergency departments, rural facilities, and prehospital EMS systems that may not have pediatric specialists or dedicated pediatric resources, the program emphasizes an integrated approach across the entire emergency medical services system rather than isolated pediatric-only efforts.
This announcement solicits applications to operate a national Resource Center that will provide coordinated, practical support to HRSA EMSC grantees through dissemination, knowledge transfer, and hands-on technical assistance. The Resource Center is intended to function as a central repository and a go-to hub of expertise, tools, and support for the federal EMSC portfolio and its partners. In practice, that means organizing and sharing proven resources, translating evidence and best practices into usable guidance, and helping grantees learn from each other through structured peer-to-peer learning opportunities. The opportunity also notes that the federal EMSC program is supported by two major pillars: the Resource Center described in this announcement and a separate Data Coordinating Center. Together, these pillars are meant to support federal EMSC grantees, national partners, and other key stakeholders by aligning knowledge, technical support, and data-driven improvement.
The Resource Center is expected to serve multiple EMSC-funded initiatives and grantee types. Specifically, it will support work carried out by EMSC State Partnership (SP) grantees, Targeted Issues (TI) grantees, the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN), and State Partnership Regionalization of Care (SPROC) grantees, as well as broader program partners in states and territories. The emphasis is on covering a variety of content areas relevant to pediatric emergency care systems, recognizing that improvement efforts often require coordinated progress in training, protocols, readiness, quality improvement, and systems coordination across prehospital and hospital settings.
In terms of funding details, HRSA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. The assistance mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means HRSA expects substantial involvement and collaboration with the recipient compared to a standard grant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for applicants. The CFDA number associated with this program is 93.127 (Emergency Medical Services for Children). The opportunity was posted March 29, 2012, with an original and final closing date of April 30, 2012, and an archive date of June 29, 2012.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Applications could be submitted by state governments and accredited schools of medicine. The notice defines "school of medicine" by reference to section 799B of the Public Health Service Act, generally meaning an accredited public or nonprofit private medical school in a state that provides doctor of medicine (MD) degree training, with accreditation defined through recognized bodies approved by the Secretary of Education, including provisions for newer programs that are not yet fully accredited but have reasonable assurance of meeting standards.
For access and applicant support, HRSA provided an additional information link to the full announcement and directed individuals who have trouble accessing the materials to contact the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) or call 877-464-4772.
