Current Grants

During the current Targeted Issues grant cycle (2019-2024), EMSC is investing in projects that will demonstrate the link between ED and EMS system readiness improvements and improved pediatric clinical care and health outcomes. Two of the grants are focusing on improving ED pediatric readiness and assessing how adoption of the Pediatric Readiness national guidelines is associated with changes in the quality of pediatric clinical care and pediatric health outcomes. Three grants are assessing the impact of the presence of a pediatric emergency care coordinator (PECC) – also known as a pediatric champion – a designated individual or combination of individuals responsible for key coordination roles focused on improving pediatric patient care and management within a local EMS agency.
