The government, particularly the federal government through the Department of Homeland Security, will prioritize and distribute funds first and foremost by need. That need is defined as the risk of potential terrorist activity in the region and the cost to improve the security of that area to prevent such a terrorist act. Unfortunately, there has never been a truly equitable system for the distribution of Homeland Security dollars.
Other priorities are more politically motivated. These are the funds that are dis- tributed through congressional sources. The funds are generally tied to bills or are available through discretionary funds provided to each senator or representative for their constituencies. Some of the sources are particular to individual politicians, and some to regional funds or other grouped entities. Some require cooperation from several members of Congress for distribution. Still others are earmarked for special projects.
Typically, the funds fall into certain categories for distribution, including educa- tion or infrastructure, such as roads. The ability to access these funds is dependent upon tailoring the proposal to fit the pool of funding dollars and convincing the politicians to support the hospital’s program above the other applicants.
