The Office of Rural Health Policy&apos;s (ORHP) PADDP grant program will fund applications that propose to develop and implement 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 this grant program is to: (1) purchase AEDs that have been approved, or cleared for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration; (2) provide basic life training in automated external defibrillator usage through nationally recognized courses; (3) provide information to community members about the public access defibrillation demonstration project to be funded with the grant; (4) provide information to the local emergency medical services (EMS) system regarding the placement of AEDs in the unique settings; and (5) further develop strategies to improve access to AEDs in public places.
