ASPR Pediatric Disaster Care Centers of Excellence

In September 2019, the U.S. HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response (ASPR) awarded two cooperative agreements to pilot the creation of Pediatric Disaster Care Centers of Excellence(COE) to improve disaster response capabilities for children in the United States. The EIIC is working collaboratively with both organizations to disseminate their best practices.
