Purpose of Award

This is EMRA’s largest award and is intended to empower you, as an EMRA member, to“dream big” for emergency medicine. The award will provide a large grant to a resident/medical student or group of residents/students to create and pursue a project designed to have a significant impact on emergency medicine education, research, practice or policy

While the EMRA grant criterion does not dictate limitations on indirect costs, the spirit of the award is for all (or almost all) of the funds to be used for research purposes.

Disbursement of Award

Award recipient will be given $3,000 ($1,500 will be disbursed upon receipt of the award; $1,500 will be disbursed upon completion of the project as outlined in the project proposal). Note: if award funds are being used to purchase goods for the project or to facilitate the proposed project, an advance on the balance of award monies may be requested

Application Process

Complete and submit the project proposal form, describing the project, its goals, budget, timeline, and its potential effects in detail.
