Description
The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Foundation (SAEMF) supports emergency care research related to emerging infectious diseases, including influenza, COVID-19, and other bacterial or viral infections. The award is not limited to specific conditions or stages of an infectious disease’s epidemiologic trajectory. Topics include diagnostics, patient and provider safety, interventions and therapeutics, disaster preparedness, and other relevant areas of acute care science.
The program welcomes basic, translational, and clinical research, and encourages innovative approaches such as implementation trials, computational methods, and data science. Its focus is self-contained projects that can be completed within one year and affect current or future emergency medicine practice. It also encourages ambitious work that can develop into a sustained, externally funded research program, advancing SAEMF’s mission to improve emergency patient care and develop academic emergency medicine leaders.
