One mission of the EMF is to support and promote the delivery of quality emergency care by securing funding for health policy projects that examine dynamic societal issues related to emergency medical care. This grant program is awarded to researchers in the health policy or health services area who have the experience to conduct research on critical health policy issues in emergency medicine. The principal investigator must be an accomplished researcher with a substantial number of publications. Only one Health Policy Research Grant per institution, per cycle, will be awarded. Such investigations may focus on basic science research, clinical research, preventive medicine, epidemiology, cost-containment, and research in emergency medicine teaching and education.
Applicants can reapply each academic for a second term of support on a competitive basis.
All applications should be submitted to the Emergency Medical Foundation.
