The Federal EMSC Program supports two resource centers: the EMSC National Resource Center, located in Washington, DC, and the National EMSC Data Analysis Resource Center, located in Salt Lake City, UT. A brief description of each follows.
EMSC National Resource Center (NRC) (not a U.S. Government website). The NRC, located just outside Washington, DC, was established in 1991 to help improve the pediatric emergency care infrastructure throughout all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories. The NRC is housed within Children’s National Medical Center, one of America’s leading pediatric institutions serving sick and injured children and their families. In 2008, the NRC received its fourth (multi-year) funding award to provide support to the Federal EMSC Program. The NRC works with states to identify the resources needed to organize and implement EMSC activities throughout the nation.

National EMSC Data Analysis Resource Center (NEDARC) (not a U.S. Government website). NEDARC assists EMSC grantees and state EMS offices in developing their own capabilities to collect, analyze, and utilize EMS and other healthcare data to improve the quality of care in state EMS and trauma systems. NEDARC is part of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT. For more information about NEDARC’s services, click here (not a U.S. Government website).
