Emergency Medicine - Resident Research Grant

Emergency Medicine Foundation(EMF)

The Emergency Medicine Foundation awards funds to support the development of research in emergency medicine. The goals of the EMF/EMRA Resident Research Program are: 1) to promote research within the specialty of emergency medicine, 2) to advance emergency medical care, and 3) to facilitate the academic growth and development of future researchers in emergency medicine and thereby invest in the future of the specialty of emergency medicine. The EMF/EMRA Resident Research Grant attempts to maximize the applicant's educational experience in research while producing the best science. The educational agenda is best accomplished in an organized program of instruction on research methods in addition to the completion of the project itself. A maximum of $10,000 will be awarded for each approved grant application. Funds are not to be used for capital equipment purchases, faculty salary support, travel, or institutional overhead.

DEFINITION OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE RESEARCH

Emergency medicine research is broadly defined as scientific investigation designed to furnish new knowledge relating to emergency medical care. Such investigations may focus on basic science research, clinical research, preventive medicine, epidemiology, health care policy, or emergency medicine teaching and education.

INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT

The applicant and preceptor assume responsibility for conducting the research projects and supervising the work of the resident and associate investigators. The applicant and preceptor must demonstrate that access to a suitable caseload or patient population will be available for study during the funding period if a clinical research project is proposed. If a basic science or nonclinical project is proposed, the applicant must show that adequate and appropriately equipped laboratory space will be available during the funding period. Research involving animals or human subjects 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. Letters of support from the Emergency Medicine Chair and Residency Director are required.

EVALUATION OF APPLICATIONS

Each application will be reviewed by emergency medicine physicians who are actively involved in research. Each application will be judged by: 1) the educational experience for the resident, including a program of instruction on research methods and the format for evaluating the progress of the award year, 2) the role of the resident applicant in the initiation, development, conduct, and reporting of the project, 3) the scientific content of the research projects, including background support, hypothesis statement, methodology, sample size calculations and planned statistical analysis, 4) the significance of the project, and 5) the qualifications of the preceptor. There should be an acknowledgement that the resident is the author of the grant application. The final funding decision will be made by the Emergency Medicine Foundation Board of Trustees, and all decisions are final.

TERMS OF THE GRANT

Change of Status of Designated Preceptor or Resident If the named preceptor or resident changes affiliations or ceases research in the field for which the award was made, the award will terminate, and the remaining balance will be returned to the Emergency Medicine Foundation.

Location of Work

Grants are awarded for investigations in the United States at an accredited medical school, medical center, or institution affiliated with a university teaching program. The preceptor will make all arrangements for conduct of the proposed research projects.

Financial Support

Semi-annual payments will be made to the preceptor's research institution that will be responsible for administering the funds. The Emergency Medicine Foundation will not be responsible for institutional overhead. Detailed audited financial reports may be required.

Liability of the Emergency Medicine Foundation

The EMF and EMRA assumes no financial liability if patient care responsibilities of any kind are undertaken by the resident or preceptor. The preceptor and the preceptor's institution acknowledge that the EMF and EMRA are not legally liable for the conduct of the resident or the preceptor and associate investigators.

Patent Policy

The preceptor and preceptor's institution acknowledge that if a patentable invention or discovery is conceived or conceived and reduced to practice by the resident during the term of their award, the EMF must be apprised of the invention and the institution's plans for protecting such invention under existing institutional patent policy. The EMF will defer to institutional policies where they are in compliance with those of the Federal government. The EMF reserves the right where the institution has no patent policy, or policies not in compliance with those of the Federal government, to claim rights and interests in the invention or discovery

Limitations on Grants

The EMF and EMRA are not fiscally responsible for funds necessary for the project’s completion. Funds are not to be used for capital equipment purchases (i.e., equipment costing more than $500 and with a life of over one year), faculty salary support, travel, or institutional overhead. It is required that the applicant submit a letter of support from a preceptor at the applicant's institution. This letter must describe the preceptor's and the resident's roles and responsibilities in the proposed project. The applicant must also submit a letter from their residency director indicating that the applicant is a resident in good standing and that they will have adequate time for completion of the proposed project. If the applicant is a medical student at the time of submission of this application, the applicant must send proof of their matching to the emergency medicine residency within 5 days after the match. The applicant must also submit a letter from the Chair/Director of Emergency Medicine stating that adequate funds will be available to the resident to complete the proposed project.

SUPPORT FACILITIES

The preceptor must submit letters of support if the proposed project uses facilities not routinely available to or directly under the supervision of the sponsoring program.

PUBLICATIONS

All discoveries resulting from work supported in part by the Emergency Medicine Foundation should be made available to the public and scientific community through approved scientific channels such as national meetings and peer reviewed publications. Publications will acknowledge the support of the Emergency Medicine Foundation and the Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association. Two electronic reprints of each publication will be forwarded to the Emergency Medicine Foundation.

PROGRESS REPORTS AND MONEY MANAGEMENT

The preceptor and resident will submit a six-month progress report and a final progress report within thirty days of the conclusion of the award year. Additional reports may be required. Failure to provide the reports will delay transmission of funds. Furthermore, failure to provide interim and final reports to the Foundation may negatively impact your institution’s ability to apply for future EMF awards. The EMF will maintain the copyright of all such reports. Progress reports must include an accounting report using Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures showing the distribution of funds with a signature from an institutional official (e.g., accountant, grants manager, administrator from the Office of Sponsored Research). The EMF reserves the right to with hold release of interim funds if >25% of the previous cycle remains unspent. The EMF allows up to 25% of funds to be carried over from one cycle to the next.

ABSTRACT PRESENTATION – ACEP RESEARCH FORUM

Awardees are required to present their work at the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Scientific Assembly/Research Forum immediately following the completion of the award. At the time of submission, abstracts must not have been accepted for publication in any journal. Also, abstracts may not be presented at any U.S. nationwide emergency medicine meeting or major international emergency medicine meeting prior to the ACEP Scientific Assembly. Presentation at non-emergency medicine meetings is allowed after presentation at ACEP. Funds cannot be requested to cover the travel cost nor registration to Research Forum.

GRANTEE WORKSHOP

Grantees are expected to attend a grantee workshop. The workshop is designed to bring together EMF grant recipients to present their progress and discuss any problems they may be facing. Senior researchers and faculty will be available to help solve problems, such as enrollment efforts, managing staff and life-work balance. NIH program officers participate in this workshop to discuss funding opportunities, provide research career advice and network with the grantees. Travel expenses will be reimbursed by the Emergency Medicine Foundation
