- What it does
- The purpose of the Rural Access to Emergency Devices (RAED) Program is to (1) purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that have been approved, or cleared for marketing, by the Food and Drug Administration; (2) provide defibrillator and basic life support training in automated external defibrillator usage through the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or other nationally recognized training courses, and (3) place the AEDs in rural communities with local organizations. The Public Access Defibrillation Demonstration Project (PADDP) supports innovative, comprehensive, community-based public access defibrillation demonstration projects that: (1) provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillation to cardiac arrest victims in unique settings; (2) provide training to community members in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillation; and (3) maximize community access to automated external defibrillators (AED). The purpose of the Rural Opioid Overdose Reversal (ROOR) Program is to reduce the incidences of morbidity and mortality related to opioid overdoses in rural communities through the purchase and placement of emergency devices used to rapidly reverse the effects of opioid overdoses and training of licensed healthcare professionals and emergency responders on their use.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
