Opportunity Summary:

The Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) State Partnership Demonstration Grants (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-063) is a discretionary grant program offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.127. The main purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen and formalize how pediatric needs are built into a state s overall emergency medical services (EMS) system. Rather than treating pediatric emergency care as a separate or optional add on, these partnership grants are meant to help states embed a consistent child focused approach into planning, protocols, training, quality improvement, and coordination across the broader emergency care system.

A central theme of the program is collaboration at the state level. HRSA strongly encourages involvement from the State Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Program and the State Highway Traffic Safety Office. The reason is practical: improving emergency care for children often requires connections that reach beyond the EMS agency itself, including public health leadership, injury prevention efforts, trauma and highway safety initiatives, and the wider system of care that serves children and families. In short, the grant is designed to bring key partners to the table so pediatric emergency care becomes a sustained and institutionalized part of how the state EMS system operates.

The funded activities are described broadly as efforts that improve, refine, and institutionalize EMSC within a state. That framing signals that HRSA is not only interested in one time projects, but in changes that can be adopted as routine practice and maintained after the grant period. Applicants are required to address all core program requirements laid out in the official grant guidance, meaning states must align proposed work with HRSA s defined expectations for EMSC system development. In addition, applicants are expected to show that planned activities promote family centered care and culturally competent care, emphasizing that high quality pediatric emergency services should be responsive to family needs, communication, and the cultural and linguistic realities of the communities served.

Eligibility is limited primarily to the State EMS agency, or the agency in the state that holds responsibility for EMS. The only exception is if the state specifically requests and designates another state entity or a school of medicine to serve as the applicant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this opportunity, which reduces financial barriers for state participation and keeps the focus on meeting program goals and requirements.

In terms of funding and scale, HRSA anticipated making 11 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of 1,430,000. The award ceiling is 130,000, indicating a relatively modest grant size intended to support targeted, high impact system improvements rather than large capital purchases or major infrastructure builds. The opportunity was posted on December 18, 2009, and the closing date was January 29, 2010, with the archive date of March 30, 2010, reflecting that this particular announcement is from a past funding cycle.

For reference and full details, the announcement includes an additional information link hosted by HRSA, and applicants (or anyone having trouble accessing the announcement) were directed to the HRSA Call Center via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (also listed as 877-Go4-HRSA), with an alternate number of 301-998-7373.
