Opportunity Summary:
The Public Access to Defibrillation Demonstration Project (PADDP) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), through the Office of Rural Health Policy, focused on improving survival from sudden cardiac arrest by expanding access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public settings. The program is designed as a demonstration project, meaning it is not only intended to fund equipment and training, but also to help communities test practical approaches for placing AEDs where they can be reached quickly, connecting those placements to local emergency response systems, and building longer-term strategies that make public access defibrillation more reliable and widespread.
The core goals of the grant are straightforward and action-oriented. Grant funds can be used to purchase AEDs that are approved or cleared for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration, ensuring that the devices deployed meet federal regulatory standards. Beyond purchasing equipment, the program places strong emphasis on readiness and correct use, supporting basic life training in AED usage through nationally recognized courses. The opportunity also expects awardees to conduct public-facing outreach so community members understand what the project is, why AEDs are being deployed, and how the community can engage with or benefit from the effort. In addition, recipients must coordinate with the local emergency medical services (EMS) system, specifically providing information about where AEDs are placed and considering the unique features of those settings so that the EMS system can integrate AED locations into emergency response practices. Finally, the project is meant to push communities to develop and refine strategies that improve AED access in public places over time, not just during the grant period.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and Tribal entities. Applicants must be a political subdivision of a state, a federally recognized Native American Tribe, or a Tribal organization. While the opportunity is open to eligible single entities, HRSA strongly encourages applicants to consider broader regional approaches, particularly proposals that use distance learning to address shared needs across a region. Collaboration is encouraged as a way to stretch limited funds and increase impact, though it is not required. Partnerships can include emergency response and training organizations and other stakeholders tied to cardiac arrest response outcomes, such as training facilities, local emergency responders, fire and rescue departments, police departments, community hospitals, and both nonprofit and for-profit organizations concerned with improving cardiac arrest survival rates. Applicants may also operate as part of a statewide, multi-state, regional, or multi-county consortium, as long as each partnership has a designated lead applicant who serves as the official grantee and fiscal agent. Importantly, statewide or multi-state partnerships do not need to include every county to be considered.
From a funding and award perspective, HRSA anticipated making two awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $150,000, and there is no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier for eligible applicants that may not have the ability to contribute significant non-federal funds. The funding opportunity number is HRSA-14-130, and the associated CFDA listing is 93.259 (Rural Access to Emergency Devices Grant and Public Access to Defibrillation Demonstration Grant). The opportunity was posted March 20, 2014, with an application deadline of April 30, 2014, and it was archived June 29, 2014.
For applicants or organizations needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating submission requirements, HRSA provided support through its Grants Application Center and HRSA Call Center, including an email contact (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and a phone line (877-464-4772).
