As 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.
