To date, EMF has awarded more than $20 million in research grants to advance emergency medicine science and health policy.
The EMF Early Career Research Development Grant is designed to provide early career faculty applicants with the opportunity to develop a thoughtful career development plan (e.g., didactics, mentored meetings, and/or advanced degree) and design, develop, and lead a research project that will advance their career in preparation for extramural funding. This grant is intended to enable early career awardees to make substantial progress towards an independent research career and successfully compete for extramural funding.
EMF encourages application partnerships between research universities and community emergency departments along with the engagement of operational and policy partners.
