Quality, Safety, and Injury Prevention (QSIP) Grant Opportunity:

This grant is intended to fund projects that will directly impact community safety.  The award should be used for new safety devices (i.e. car seats, bike helmets, firearm locking devices), training to bring safety and/or injury prevention knowledge to the community (i.e. class fee to become an instructor for Tai Chi or attend an injury prevention specific course), new injury prevention programs or supplies needed to maintain existing programs (i.e. Bingocize supply box).  The award should not go towards costs already covered by an organization or hospital.  It is not to pay day to day operational expenses, utilities, facility fees and the like. 

We will prioritize critical access hospitals, rural, and lower resourced areas.  Goals of the award is to increase opportunity to bring injury prevention opportunities to underfunded areas and support the growth of injury prevention initiatives across the state of Oregon. 

The QSIP committee is pleased to offer a grant of up to $2,000.00 to one or more applicants.  This is a reimbursement grant.  You will be responsible for spending funds up front and Oregon ENA will reimburse you up to the awarded amount. 


Congratulations to this year’s recipient of the Oregon ENA Quality, Safety, and Injury Prevention Grant, Harney District Hospital!

Harney District Hospital plans to address fall prevention by creating a community event to provide in-person fall risk assessments and provide attendees with assistive equipment, including walkers, canes, toilet risers, and hand rails.

Thank you Harney District Hospital for your dedication to injury prevention and your work to improve the lives of the population that you serve!
