Funded Projects

Examples of what this program has supported.

FY2025 The EMSC program has demonstrated that Pediatric Readiness saves lives. An analysis showed that high ED Pediatric Readiness is independently associated with long-term survival among injured children. An additional analysis found that children who were cared for in a trauma center ED with higher Pediatric Readiness were less likely to die than children cared for in a trauma center ED with lower Pediatric Readiness. Using predictive models, researchers found that having high levels of Pediatric Readiness could save the lives of 2,143 children each year.
