The HRSA awarded the three-year grant to 12 CHI rural hospitals within its Fargo Division, including CHI St. Joseph's Health, through its Rural Access to Emergency Devices Grant Program. Year two of the three-year grant closed in August 2015. The total estimated cost for the AED Collaborative project is $1,034,720 over the full three years. Of this, HRSA has awarded $397,416 in federal funds for years one and two. The award is for 12-month budget periods with one additional allocation for the remaining third year, providing $595,920, or 58 percent, of potential federal assistance, over the full three-year period. The remaining $438,800—42 percent—is funded by nongovernmental sources.
