Rural Access to Emergency Devices (RAED) Grants

The Bureau of Emergency Medical Services has been awarded a Rural Access to Emergency Devices (RAED) grant from the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, Health Resources and Services Administration for Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs). The goals of the program are to place AEDs in rural communities and increase community awareness and knowledge. The project will place AEDs, ensure training, and track AED usage.

Awards are available to rural counties in the state as defined by the federal program. Davis, Morgan, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties are not eligible. Cache, Summit, Tooele and Washington counties have limited eligibility.

The last grant application deadline was February 29, 2008. However, additional awards may be granted after the deadline if money is available. For more information, please download the RAED grant application packet. You can also download an IRS W-9 form if you do not have one already.
