 Program Activities

Since its establishment in 1985, all states, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia have received funding from the EMSC Program. Today, most funding is administered through either a State Partnership (not a U.S. Government Web site) or Targeted Issue (not a U.S. Government Web site) grant. In addition, the Program funds the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) (not a U.S. Government Web site).

The Program also conducts workshops (not a U.S. Government Web site) (through the National EMSC Data Analysis Resource Center), Annual Technical Assistance Meetings (through the EMSC National Resource Center), and webcasts (not a U.S. Government Web site) (through MCHCOM.com); collects and disseminates EMSC products and resources (not a U.S. Government Web site); maintains a website; conducts research and related-activities; and honors the invaluable contributions of those in the field though the National Heroes Awards (not a U.S. Government Web site).

For more information about these activities, access the Program's fiscal year highlights for years 2004, 2005, and 2006. In FY 2008, the EMSC Program released its EMSC Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2008-2010: Recommendations of the EMSC Partnership for Children Stakeholders Group (not a U.S. Government Web site).
