ARMED MedEd Pilot Training Grant

Society for Academic Emergency Medicine

Purpose of the Award

The SAEMF ARMED MedEd Pilot Training Grant awards $25,000 over a one-year period starting July 1 to support the development of an education scientist in emergency medicine. Its specific goals are:

Enable the awardee to spend one year in a mentored research project designed to facilitate personal/professional development and position them to obtain additional extramural funding (either through the development of advanced skills and/or creation of pilot data).
Increase the likelihood of the selection of an academic and education research-focused career by the awardee through specific career development, targeted mentorship, and institutional sponsorship.
Encourage the awardee’s academic development and involvement in emergency medicine education research.

Expectations of the Award

The ARMED MedEd Pilot Training Grant awardee is expected to:

Attend the SAEM Annual Meeting during both years of the award.
Submit interim and final progress reports in accordance with SAEMF instructions.
Submit an abstract reporting the results of the research project for presentation at the SAEM Annual Meeting. As the selection of research abstracts is a competitive process, acceptance is not assured.
Publish a manuscript (first-authored by the awardee) arising from the project in a peer-reviewed journal within two years of completing the award.
Acquire research skills and preliminary or pilot data through the financial support of the grant.
Receive strong mentorship.
Complete a research project that will help develop the awardee’s research and academic career.
Develop the fundamental skills necessary to succeed as an education research scientist and to successfully compete for subsequent funding.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

1. Demonstrated commitment to an emergency medicine research career (highest predictor)

This is one of the few factors explicitly highlighted by SAEMF across all grant programs.

SAEMF states that greater consideration is given to applicants who demonstrate a sustained commitment to:

Emergency medicine-focused research
Academic emergency medicine
Research presentations
Peer-reviewed publications
National and international research activities
Long-term research career development

Applicants are scored on both their stated and demonstrated commitment to emergency medicine research.

2. Strong mentorship and research training plan (very high predictor)

For career-development awards such as the RTG, the primary purpose is investigator development rather than simply funding a project.

Successful applications typically demonstrate:

Experienced mentor(s)
Structured research training
Methodology training
Clear career-development goals
Protected research time
Regular mentorship meetings

The RTG specifically aims to provide intensive training and mentorship to develop future emergency medicine researchers.

3. High-quality, hypothesis-driven emergency medicine research

Competitive projects generally address important questions in:

Emergency medicine
Critical care
Toxicology
Ultrasound
Geriatric emergency medicine
Health services research
Clinical operations
Medical education
Disaster preparedness
Global emergency medicine

Reviewers favor studies with:

Strong scientific rationale
Clear hypotheses
Rigorous methodology
Appropriate statistical plans
Feasible timelines

4. Strong publication and presentation record

Successful applicants commonly demonstrate:

First-author publications
Peer-reviewed manuscripts
Scientific abstracts
Oral presentations
National meeting participation

SAEMF explicitly lists publication quality and research presentations as indicators of research commitment and competitiveness.

5. Strong institutional and departmental research environment

SAEMF places substantial emphasis on the host department.

Competitive institutions typically demonstrate:

Active emergency medicine research programs
Funded investigators
Ongoing IRB-approved studies
Formal research curricula
Research support personnel
Dedicated research infrastructure

Reviewers assess whether the institution can support the applicant's development into an independent investigator.

6. Potential for future external funding

A major objective of SAEMF funding is creating investigators who later obtain:

NIH funding
Federal grants
Foundation grants
Independent research support

Projects that generate:

Preliminary data
Pilot findings
Proof-of-concept evidence

for future larger grants are particularly attractive.

7. Active involvement in SAEM

This is a unique predictor compared with many other societies.

SAEMF specifically notes that applicants may receive more favorable consideration if they demonstrate:

SAEM membership involvement
Committee participation
SAEM presentations
Academy participation
Leadership activities within SAEM

This reflects the Foundation's goal of building future leaders in academic emergency medicine.

8. Leadership potential in academic emergency medicine

Programs such as the Education Research Training Grant specifically seek applicants who show:

Leadership potential
Academic advancement potential
Educational leadership
Research independence

Strong applicants usually present a clear long-term vision for becoming leaders in emergency medicine research or education.

Eligibility Requirements

An applicant for the ARMED MedEd Pilot Training Grant must:

Have graduated from the SAEM Advanced Research Methodology Evaluation and Design MedEd (ARMED MedEd) Course by the start of the grant period. Preference will be given to applicants within five years of graduation from ARMED MedEd.
Be a "faculty" member of SAEM in good standing at application deadline and during the entire award period.
Have an advanced/doctoral or terminal educational degree (e.g., MD, DO, PhD, DSc or equivalent).
Hold a university appointment in or be actively involved (e.g., have an adjunct appointment) with a department or division of emergency medicine or pediatric emergency medicine at the start of the award period. The applicant may work as a clinician at an institution other than the host institution or the institution at which the project will be conducted.
Not have previously received an SAEMF ARMED MedEd Pilot Grant, SAEMF Education Research Training Grant, or another grant with similar purpose from another entity, prior to the start of the ARMED MedEd Pilot Grant period. Eligibility will be assessed at the time of the award decision, so applicants funded by a disqualifying source after submission of their application may become ineligible as a result of subsequent funding decisions.
