EMSC Targeted Issue Grants
Through the competitive Targeted Issue (TI) grant mechanism, the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program funds schools of medicines to find new approaches to providing the best possible emergency care for children across the nation. Typically, the projects result in a new product, resource, or demonstrate the effectiveness of a model system component or service of value.
Objectives must meet a demonstrable need. Methodologies and strategies for achieving the objectives must be realistic, appropriate, and scientifically sound. Each project must contain an evaluation plan that contains measurable outcomes and clearly defined time frames for conducting the evaluation. Awards range up to $250,000 per year for up to three years.
In fiscal year (FY) 2009, the Program did not award any new TI grants. However, several TI grants received continuation funding. In FY 2010, the EMSC Program anticipates to fund additional TI grants. The EMSC Targeted Issue Grant Guidance should be available in early to mid 2010.
EMSC Continuing Targeted Issue Grants, Fiscal Year 2010 briefly describes each of the TI projects continued from fiscal years 2007 and 2008 to be completed in 2010 or 2011. Note that no new TI grants were awarded in 2009.
