Guidelines for the federal Rural Access to Emergency Devices Grant Program were recently released. This program provides funding to
1) purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs);
2) provide defibrillator and basic life support training in AED usage; and
3) place the AEDs in rural communities with local organizations.
Application deadline is April 30. This is a federal grant, which means you should allow plenty of time to complete the application.
