North Dakota Century Code Title 23. Health and Safety § 23-38.1-01. Cardiac ready community grant program

The department of health and human services shall establish a cardiac ready community grant program. The primary purpose of the program is to support bystander, emergency responder, and community private public partnerships for strengthening community-based capacity for cardiac and stroke emergency response and risk reduction programs throughout the state. The program must build on and may not duplicate existing programs. The department shall award grants on a competitive basis based on criteria established by an advisory committee. To facilitate volume purchasing savings, the department may procure vendor rates and purchases, and grant the acquired elements to community programs.
