Some grants are specifically designed to help those starting out in a research career.  There are also some helpful programs that have helped many EM researchers develop the skills they need to obtain grants.
 

• EMBRS grant (Emergency Medicine Basic Research Skills)
  • EMBRS is a 11-day, 2-session program. The first session is held in November and the second session is held in April. This program provides a broad overview of the basics from idea to publication.  Participants are required to attend both sessions.  There is also a $5,000 grant competition as part of the course.
