42 U.S.C. § 300w–9 — Emergency medical services for children

(a) Grant authority — The Secretary can give grants to States, or to accredited medical schools in States, in addition to grants already allowed under section 300w–3(a)(1)(F). These grants pay for demonstration projects. The projects must expand and improve emergency medical services for children who need treatment for trauma or critical care. A grant can last up to 4 years. The Secretary can add a 5th year if the project is performing well. The Secretary must evaluate the grant every year. A State can get no more than 3 of these grants in one fiscal year, whether the grants go to the State itself or to a medical school in the State. (b) Renewals — The Secretary can renew a grant from subsection (a) for one more year, but only one. The Secretary can do this only if renewing the grant will produce useful information or data — through collecting, analyzing, and sharing it — that will help States that have not received a grant under subsection (a). (c) Definitions — "School of medicine" means the same thing it means in section 292a(4) of this title. "Accredited" means the same thing it means in section 292a(5) of this title. (d) Authorization of appropriations — This subsection sets out how much money Congress may provide to carry out the section, listed year by year: $2,000,000 for fiscal year 1985 and for each of the next two years; $3,000,000 for fiscal year 1989; $4,000,000 for fiscal year 1990; $5,000,000 for each of fiscal years 1991 and 1992; whatever amount is needed for each of fiscal years 1993 through 2005; $25,000,000 for fiscal year 2010; $26,250,000 for fiscal year 2011; $27,562,500 for fiscal year 2012; $28,940,625 for fiscal year 2013; $30,387,656 for fiscal year 2014; $20,213,000 for each of fiscal years 2015 through 2019; $22,334,000 for each of fiscal years 2020 through 2024; and $24,334,000 for each of fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
