Guidelines and Application Instructions
According to RCW 70.168.130 (1) and (2), the Washington State Department of Health provides disbursement of funds to regional emergency medical services and trauma care councils.
Grants are awarded to Prehospital Agencies, within the North Region, to support community-based prehospital education. Available grants will also be awarded to applications that enhance existing quality of prehospital activities or services, decrease patient mortality and morbidity; or expand the extent, size or number of existing prehospital activities or services.
In an effort to best serve North Region communities, grants will be assessed and awarded based on need and benefit to the Region. Applicants must coordinate application approval through their County EMS Council or their Agency.
Grants will be reviewed according to the Regional Council’s Grant Criteria and approval will be based on the overall benefit to the Region. Depending on the number of and types of requests in the grant submissions, the Regional Council may fund different amounts per county. Funding will be prioritized based on participation in the North Region Council.
