The Medtronic Foundation has announced new grant guidelines for its HeartRescue program. Grants are for schools, school districts, governments, and nonprofits to educate students about sudden cardiac arrest and prepare them to act in an emergency.

Priority funding will be given to new initiatives that demonstrate effective education and training programs or emergency response planning that would include CPR/AED training for desig- nated responders as well as students at one or more grade levels each year. Grants range in size from $5,000 to $30,000 per year. Program guidelines and applications are available at the Medtronic Foundation Web site.
