Purpose & Explanation
The Ohio EMS Priority One Grant supports the training of personnel and the acquisition of essential equipment for emergency medical personnel. Under section 4765.07 of the Ohio Revised Code, the program enhances readiness, capability, and overall quality of EMS systems. The grant helps agencies maintain high standards of patient care, improve response effectiveness, and ensure that providers are equipped with current knowledge and tools necessary to serve their communities safely and efficiently.
The Priority One Grant provides reimbursement-based funding to eligible EMS agencies for approved training and equipment purchases completed within a defined grant cycle (July 1, 2026 - December 31, 2026). The program is administered through the Ohio Division of EMS and requires agencies to apply via the EMS Grants Management System.
