This year, EMF allocated around $1 million to approximately 20 grantees. The new funding opportunities for 2025 will be released in October 2024.
EMF strategically utilizes these funds to maximize their impact. By focusing on seed funding, EMF ensures that promising researchers can establish themselves and gain the necessary experience and credibility to pursue larger-scale projects.
Strategic Collaboration and Responsive Research Funding
Collaboration and strategic planning are at the heart of the Emergency Medicine Foundation’s approach.
EMF actively collaborates with ACEP to identify pressing issues and emerging challenges in emergency medicine. For instance, at a recent ACEP Board meeting, EMF presented research outcomes from the past few years and sought feedback on current critical issues. This collaborative effort ensures that EMF’s grant priorities align with the immediate and long-term needs of the field.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted EMF’s responsiveness to urgent research needs. As the pandemic unfolded, there was an immediate demand for research on its impact on emergency medicine practices and patient care. In response, EMF established three specific COVID-19 research grants, starting in July 2020.

David E Wilcox, MD, FACEPAs my term as the new Chair of the Emergency Medicine Board of Trustees began in the beginning of 2020, the COVID pandemic blossomed. I moved that, for the first time ever, EMF go off academic cycle, and we created new mid cycle awards for Emergency Medicine research topics exploring COVID.
A few months later as the Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity arena exploded, I moved again that we go off cycle, and we created additional awards for DIE research exploration.
Both of these off cycle awards resulted in massive interest for new EM research.
