Description
The Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) and Emergency Medicine Residents' Association (EMRA) support scientific investigations that develop new knowledge relating to emergency medical care. Research may address basic science, clinical research, preventive medicine, epidemiology, health care policy, or emergency medicine teaching and education. The program aims to promote research within the specialty, advance emergency medical care, and foster the academic growth of future researchers.
The grant combines completion of a research project with an organized program of instruction in research methods. It emphasizes the resident’s educational experience and role in initiating, developing, conducting, and reporting the work, alongside the project’s scientific content and significance. A faculty preceptor guides the project, and a grantee workshop provides opportunities to discuss progress and challenges with senior researchers and faculty.
