U.M. receives $4.3 million grant to study emergency response
The University of Montana and its partners have been awarded a three-year $4.3 million grant to study whether or not Rocky Mountain region health-care providers and emergency responders could answer the challenge of an infectious epidemic or bioterrorism event. The grant is coming from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration.
Funding is being shared by U.M. and St. Vincent Health Care Foundation in Billings. The award continues funding for a 2003-04 program.
In that program first responders, physicians, pharmacists, nurses, emergency planners and others were taught basic incident command structure and what to do in the event of a major health-care crisis.
