Emergency Medicine - Pilot Research Grant

Emergency Medicine Foundation(EMF)

RESEARCH TOPICS This grant is intended to provide “starter” or pilot funding for preliminary data to help initiate a successful line of research that will ultimately lead to a larger project and result in a subsequent K of R grant funding. The goal of this grant is to lay the groundwork for a project that will eventually meaningfully impact emergency care research and is intended for a broad audience, including both clinical, translational, and basic science researchers. Description of how the proposed pilot could lead to further work is highly encouraged. Feasibility, and high risk/high reward applications are encouraged. EMF encourages application partnerships between research universities and community emergency departments along with the engagement of operational and policy partners. All applications must identify and justify the primary EMF priority to which they are focusing their proposal. EMF priorities include:

• Value of Emergency Medicine

• Health Policy

• Safety/Quality/Prevention of Error

• Emergency Physician Wellness

• Emergency Physician Workforce

• Practice of Emergency Medicine

• Health Disparities

• Education Research

• Basic Science

INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT

The applicant is required to demonstrate that the project will be successfully completed at their institution. The applicant must demonstrate that access to a suitable caseload, patient population or database will be available for study during the funding period. Research must be approved by the institutional review board (IRB), or its equivalent, and a copy of the approval or pending approval sent with this application. IRB approval must be documented prior to dispensation of EMF funds. The applicant must also submit a letter from the Chair/Director of Emergency Medicine stating that adequate funds and time will be available to the applicant to complete the proposed project.

EVALUATION OF APPLICATIONS

Each application will be reviewed by research scientists who are actively involved in emergency medicine research. Each application will be judged primarily on: (1) the significance of the project to emergency medicine, (2) the research strategy, (3) feasibility, and (4) innovation. The final funding decision will be made by the Emergency Medicine Foundation Board of Trustees and all decisions are final. Applications not funded can be resubmitted the following cycle with a response to prior reviewer comments.
