[[Page 22097]]
Amount of Competitive Award(s): One award for $2,500,000.
Project Period: July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026.
Assistance Listing (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) Number:
93.127.
Award Instrument: Cooperative Agreement.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 300w-9 (Public Health Service Act, title XIX,
sec. 1910).
Purpose/Justification: The Emergency Medical Services for Children
(EMSC) program funds demonstration projects to expand and improve
emergency medical services for children who need treatment for trauma
or critical care. EIIC provides technical support to states and
jurisdictions to achieve the EMSC program's mandate by increasing
pediatric readiness in hospital EDs and prehospital EMS agencies to
improve outcomes for children. EIIC supports demonstration projects to
implement evidence-based clinical guidelines and establish evidence-
based training for emergency care practitioners in hospital EDs and
prehospital EMS agencies in underserved communities. EIIC was
established in 2016 through a 4-year cooperative agreement. HRSA's
Maternal and Child Health Bureau re-competed the program in 2020 for
another 4 years and extended the program for an additional year in
fiscal year 2024 to support the first comprehensive national assessment
of prehospital agencies and continue quality improvement activities to
increase pediatric readiness. The current budget period ends on June
30, 2025. Renewal of this grant will allow EIIC to continue to advance
pediatric readiness nationally during this upcoming extension period in
both prehospital EMS and hospital emergency departments through the
dissemination of data. HRSA intends to recompete this program prior to
the end of the 12-month extension period. HRSA will award $2,500,000 to
the existing EIIC Program award recipient to continue operations as
outlined in HRSA-20-037 Notice of Funding Opportunity.

Administrator.
