Assistance for EMS or ambulance services

With over $1.1 million in funding, the Oklahoma Emergency Response Systems Stabilization and Improvement Revolving Fund represents a big opportunity for small ambulance services.

The money is collected from cigarette taxes, and may be used by the Oklahoma State Department of Health for:

• funding assessment activities,
• stabilization and/or reorganization of at-risk emergency medical services,
• development of regional emergency medical services,
• training for emergency medical directors,
• access to training front line emergency medical services personnel, and
• capital and equipment needs.

The application doesn't look too difficult. You'll find it online at OSDH, along with a complete explanation of scoring.

Deadline: January 1, 2010. Looks like it will be open every year at this same time.
UPDATE:  I understand the application deadline has been moved back to April, 2010.
