Description
This grant provides seed funding to junior and new investigators for simulation-based research in emergency medicine. Projects may address educational innovations, clinical operations, patient safety, or systems research using simulation modalities such as high-fidelity manikins, virtual/augmented reality, serious games, standardized patients, computational modeling, or hybrid models. The goal is to foster novel research questions and support career development in simulation scholarship, with an emphasis on rigorous study design and frameworks that can lead to improved evaluation, training, or patient care.
