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. The purpose of this program is to support activities that
demonstrate expansion and improvement in the delivery of high-quality
emergency services for all children throughout our nation by: (1)
Providing independent, comprehensive research support for large multi-
center randomized clinical trials and other types of clinical research
conducted by and associated with the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied
Research Network; (2) Enhancing and collecting performance measure data
that align with the combined efforts of the EMSC State Partnership and
the EMSC Innovation and Improvement Center to expand and improve EMSC
in states/jurisdictions; and (3) Collaborating with national partners
to coordinate and support nationally representative data collection
efforts to assess the expansion of prehospital and hospital pediatric
readiness initiatives. The EDC was established in 2017 through a 4-year
cooperative agreement. HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau re-
competed the program in 2022 for another 4 years. The current budget
period ends on June 30, 2026. Renewal of this cooperative agreement
will allow EDC to continue to assess pediatric readiness nationally
during this upcoming extension period in both prehospital EMS and
hospital emergency departments through the collection of data. HRSA
will award $1,600,000 to the existing EDC Program award recipient to
continue operations as outlined in HRSA-22-087 Notice of Funding
Opportunity.

Deputy Administrator.
