Summary
The Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) program, established in 1984, supports projects to improve emergency care for children with trauma and other critical conditions. These projects strengthen Pediatric Readiness [1],[2],[3] in hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) and prehospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies. The EMSC National Pediatric Readiness Coordinating Center (NPRCC) supports and coordinates these efforts. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) explains how to apply for funding under the NPRCC Cooperative Agreement.

- Coordinate with key partners to develop and update Pediatric Readiness guidelines for hospital EDs and EMS agencies.
- Centralize technical assistance and quality improvement (QI) learning collaboratives to increase adoption of Pediatric Readiness guidelines and support state Pediatric Readiness Recognition Programs.
- Increase awareness among health care providers and the public about the role of Pediatric Readiness in improving outcomes for children.
- Measure progress in Pediatric Readiness through a web-based data collection system for hospital EDs and EMS agencies.
