Rural Access to Emergency Devices Grant and Public Access to Defibrillation Demonstration Grant

 

The purpose of the Rural Access to Emergency Devices (RAED) Grant Program is to (1) purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that have been approved, or cleared for marketing, by the Food and Drug Administration; (2) provide defibrillator and basic life support training in automated external defibrillator usage through the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or other nationally recognized training courses, and (3) place the AEDs in rural communities with local organizations.

The Public Access Defibrillation Demonstration Project (PADDP) grant program supports innovative, comprehensive, community-based public access defibrillation demonstration projects that: (1) provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillation to cardiac arrest victims in unique settings; (2) provide training to community members in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillation; and (3) maximize community access to automated external defibrillators (AED).


The purpose of the Rural Opioid Overdose Reversal (ROOR) Grant Program is to reduce the incidences of morbidity and mortality related to opioid overdoses in rural communities through the purchase and placement of emergency devices used to rapidly reverse the effects of opioid overdoses and training of licensed healthcare professionals and emergency responders on their use.
