INTRODUCTION The Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) and Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Foundation (SAEMF) jointly award stipends to encourage medical students to engage in and to be exposed to emergency medicine research.
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, cost-containment, and research in emergency medicine teaching and education.
INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT The applicant is required to demonstrate that the project will be successfully completed at his or her institution. The applicant 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. A copy of the approval, or pending approval, must be sent with this application. IRB approval must be documented prior to dispensation of EMF funds.
EVALUATION OF APPLICATIONS Each proposal will be evaluated by a committee composed of individuals from EMF and SAEMF according to the following criteria:
1. Relevance to the goals of the Medical Student Research Grant program.
2. Educational experience for the applicant.
3. The quality and scientific value of the project.
4. The research background and experience of the preceptor.
5. The preceptor’s ability to mentor.
6. Institutional support personnel, facilities, and commitment to research. The final funding decision will be made by the Emergency Medicine Foundation Board of Trustees and all decisions are final.
TERMS OF THE GRANT
Duration and Amount
The grant is for a maximum of $5,000, at least $2,500 which must be used as a student stipend. The grant is awarded to a student's institution and may not be used for faculty salary support, institutional overhead, or capital expenditures. The medical student's and/or preceptor's own institution may supplement the EMF/SAEMF Medical Student Research Grant within the guidelines set by that institution. Audited reports detailing how the funds were used may be required. Applicants can reapply each academic year for a second term of support on a competitive basis.
An application for an EMF/SAEMF Medical Student Research Grant may be made by either a specific medical student or by an Emergency Medicine residency program wishing to sponsor a medical student research project. The maximum number of awards funded will be determined annually by the EMF Board of Trustees.
