It is estimated that a target endowment of five million dollars will be required to meet this goal. SAEM is actively seeking contributions to this fund. Every dollar contributed goes directly to support research and education in emergency medicine. Administrative and fund raising costs are covered by SAEM's operational budget, not by the Fund. Since SAEM is a non-profit 501 c 3 organization, contributions to the Fund for Academic Emergency Medicine are tax deductible.
Contributions are truly investments in the future of research and education in emergency medicine.
The review process for resident research year grants for 1999 is currently underway. Applications for this and other FAEM grant programs are available through the SAEM homepage.
