Areas of interest include diagnostics, patient and provider safety, interventions and therapeutics, disaster preparedness, and related topics. Proposals may use basic, translational, or clinical research methods, and innovative approaches such as implementation trials, computational methods, and data science are especially encouraged. The grant aims to fund impactful, one-year research projects that may serve as a foundation for future, externally funded research programs. Awardees are expected to attend the SAEM Annual Meeting, submit interim and final progress reports, present research findings at the meeting, and publish results in a peer-reviewed journal.
