Every year, the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) awards 5-7 grants, each worth $500, to Emergency Medicine Interest Groups (EMIG). These grants used to be due every August but this academic year, they will be due Jan 1, 2011.
Take a look at the EMIG Grant website to see if your EMIG section is interested. Hey, it's free money to build interest and education in EM! Be creative.
The goals of the grant are:
- To promote growth of EM education at the medical student level
- To identify new educational methodologies advancing undergraduate education in emergency medicine
- To support educational endeavors of an EMIG
I believe a few years ago, UCSF's EMIG group received a grant to help defray costs of a cadaver-based procedures lab.
