Opportunity Summary:

The National Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Data Analysis Resource Center Demonstration (HRSA-11-060) was a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to create or support a centralized resource focused on improving how EMSC grantees and State EMS Offices use data for management, performance measurement, and quality improvement. The core idea was to strengthen the practical, day-to-day information capabilities of EMSC-funded programs by helping them collect better data, analyze it more effectively, communicate results clearly, and translate findings into real quality improvement (QI) actions. In addition to technical work with data systems and analytics, the opportunity also emphasized building capacity in related areas that make data useful in public health and emergency care settings, including grant writing and research design, so that states and EMSC programs could sustain improvements and participate in stronger evaluation and research efforts over time.

The program’s purpose centered on technical assistance and hands-on support for EMSC grantees and State EMS Offices. That assistance was intended to cover data collection practices (including what to collect and how to standardize it), data analysis approaches (turning raw data into interpretable insights), and data communications (presenting findings in ways that decision-makers and partners can act on). A major focus was connecting data to QI, meaning the resource center would not just produce reports, but would help grantees apply findings to improve pediatric emergency care processes and outcomes. Another key component was supporting collaborative, state-level efforts to collect and analyze data, which implies facilitating consistency across jurisdictions, encouraging shared methods, and enabling comparisons or aggregation where appropriate to better understand pediatric EMS performance and gaps.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, HRSA anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,210,000 and an award ceiling of $1,210,000, suggesting a one-site, one-award model intended to serve the broader national EMSC network. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching. The CFDA listing associated with the program was 93.127 (Emergency Medical Services for Children). The announcement was posted on December 8, 2010, created on January 14, 2011, and had an application closing date of January 24, 2011, with an archive date of March 29, 2011, indicating it was a time-limited competition with a short submission window.

Eligibility was limited to state governments and accredited schools of medicine (with the broader eligibility category noted as “Others,” clarified by the eligibility text), reflecting HRSA’s intent to fund an entity with either statewide authority and operational connection to EMS systems or strong academic expertise and infrastructure to provide high-level analytic and research support. Because the award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, HRSA likely expected substantial federal involvement in shaping or coordinating project activities, which is typical when an agency wants the recipient to operate as a national technical assistance and capacity-building hub aligned closely with federal program goals.

Overall, this demonstration opportunity aimed to build a specialized data analysis and QI support center that could raise the baseline capability of EMSC programs and State EMS Offices nationwide. By improving data quality, analytic capacity, and the ability to apply evidence to QI, the program sought to make pediatric emergency medical services more measurable, more comparable across states, and more improvable through structured, data-driven decision-making.

What was the main goal of this demonstration opportunity?

The main goal was to strengthen the practical, day-to-day data capabilities of EMSC-funded programs. This included improving how data are collected, standardized, analyzed, communicated, and then applied to real quality improvement actions in pediatric emergency care.

Who was the intended audience or beneficiaries of the resource center?

The resource center was intended to serve EMSC grantees and State EMS Offices nationwide by providing technical assistance and hands-on support related to data use and quality improvement.

What kinds of support and technical assistance were emphasized?

The opportunity emphasized support in three closely related areas: (1) data collection practices (including what to collect and how to standardize it), (2) data analysis approaches (turning raw data into interpretable insights), and (3) data communications (presenting findings clearly so decision-makers and partners can act on them).

How did the opportunity connect data work to quality improvement (QI)?

A major focus was ensuring that data were used for action, not just reporting. The resource center was expected to help grantees apply findings to improve pediatric emergency care processes and outcomes through structured, data-driven QI activities.

Was this opportunity only about building data systems and analytics?

No. In addition to technical work with data systems and analytics, the opportunity also emphasized capacity building in related areas that help make data useful and sustainable over time, including grant writing and research design.

Why were grant writing and research design mentioned in a data-focused program?

These areas were included to help states and EMSC programs sustain improvements and participate in stronger evaluation and research efforts over time. The idea was to support long-term capability, not just short-term technical outputs.

What was meant by supporting collaborative, state-level efforts?

The program emphasized facilitating collaboration across jurisdictions by encouraging consistent methods, shared approaches to collecting and analyzing data, and the ability to compare or aggregate information where appropriate. This was intended to strengthen understanding of pediatric EMS performance and gaps across states.

How many awards did HRSA expect to make?

HRSA anticipated making a single award, reflecting a one-site, one-award model intended to serve the broader national EMSC network as a centralized resource.

What was the estimated total funding amount and award ceiling?

The estimated total funding amount was $1,210,000, and the award ceiling was also $1,210,000.

Was cost sharing or matching required?

No. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching.

What type of funding mechanism was used?
