ANNUAL ALLIANCE NAMING OPPORTUNITIES
Your gift today is an investment in emergency medicine’s future. Annual Alliance donations are the backbone of support for a growing investment in grants and programs that is needed now more than ever. Your donations are put to work immediately through initiatives that are designed to build the pipeline of EM researchers and educators. During the 2021-22 Grants cycle, the SAEMF awarded close to $700,000 to fund 23 of the most promising researchers and educators in emergency medicine.

Unique giving opportunities aligned with your interests Through a gift to SAEMF, you have the opportunity to invest in EM’s future in unique ways and to align your philanthropy with a cause that is important to you. By establishing a major gift, you not only foster and encourage future research and education leaders like Dr. Haran — you also help to elevate the awareness about what can be accomplished through a gift to SAEMF.
“I received my SAEMF Research Training Grant in 2014 for my research Cytokine Responses in Patients Presenting with an Acute Respiratory Illness. This grant kick started my research career and was the first step towards becoming an independent funded investigator. Not only did it provide the opportunity for research training, but it led to my R03 GEMSSTAR training grant, then a K23, and finally an R01. I am now looking at cytokines in Alzheimer’s disease patients and in COVID-19. I am grateful to SAEMF donors for making this possible.”

While unrestricted gifts offer the greatest opportunity to address the areas of need as prioritized by SAEM’s Grants Committee and the SAEMF Board of Trustees (BoT), donors are welcome to propose specific disease states or therapies that align with their intentions for the gift. Donors are also invited to propose new programs for consideration by the BoT.
Annual Alliance donors who commit a gift or pledge of $10,000 or more per year have the opportunity to be recognized in conjunction with a named grant or program. Opportunities include: DESCRIPTION Thanks to you, these essential grants will receive the funding needed to increase research and education in key areas of the specialty’s focus. Your gift will foster interest in research among EM trainees. The focus is on self-limited research projects that are impactful in the current or future practice of EM and can be completed in a one-year time frame. This may include educational projects. Your gift will help to recognize the valuable role of EM medical student interest groups (EMIGs) by funding the awareness of the EMIGs and grants to support these groups’ educational activities. In an effort to provide high-quality research and educational innovation in emergency care, SAEM developed a high-yield, interactive Research Learning Series for novice and mid-career researchers in EM. Your gift will support 60-minute sessions that feature valuable research content delivered by experts in the field of emergency research. Your gift will foster innovation in teaching, education, and educational research in EM for faculty-, fellow-, residentand medical student-level learners. The mission of the grant is to provide support for a medical education research project. Your gift will support the development of a scientist in EM. This grant’s specific goals are to provide support an EM academician awardee for one year of mentored research experience. The award is intended to support the applicant in obtaining preliminary or pilot data for future grant submissions. It also enhances the likelihood of the selection of an academic and research career by the awardee and encourages academic development and involvement in EM research. Your gift will help foster innovation in teaching, education, and educational research in EM for faculty-, fellow-, resident- and medical student-level learners. The mission of the grant is to develop the academic potential of the selected fellow by providing support for a dedicated two-year training period, including pursuit and preferably completion of an advanced degree in education. Your gift will help fund an EM faculty member to conduct a large-scale research project to advance his/her career and subsequently obtain federal funding by developing pilot data. This grant is expected to answer important scientific questions in EM, and help the recipient become an independently funded scientist in EM. Your gift will be used to support the development of a scientist in EM. The goals are to: • Provide support to an EM academician awardee for two years of concentrated training and mentorship with an emphasis on learning research methodology. The award is intended to support the development of sound research skills rather than a specific research project. • Enhance the likelihood of the selection of an academic and research career by the awardee. • Facilitate the support of research training in the awardee’s host institution for EM research scientists.
Contact SAEMF to learn about opportunities for longer terms of naming, including endowments (typically available with a gift of at least 20 times the grant/program annual funding).

“Federal funding is decreasing for all areas of research. Emergency medicine has always disproportionately had inadequate support. When I donate to an organization, its mission and principles are of vital importance – and, SAEMF checks both of those boxes. We need organizations like SAEMF to support our specialty’s research and train the next generation of researchers and educators. With the guidance of the SAEM Grants Committee, SAEMF has selected proposals from the best and brightest in our academic departments. I trust SAEM/F’s Board members to direct donations to the topics that currently warrant emergency medicine research and education. Each $1 invested in an SAEMF grant also yields $3 in additional federal funding. As SAEM’s President, I have been inspired by the generosity of my colleagues. Their giving compelled me to become an Annual Alliance donor.”
- Amy H. Kaji, MD, PhD Harbor-UCLA Medical Center SAEMF Donor and SAEM President, 2021-22
Together with SAEM, the SAEM Foundation has awarded over $9 million to more than 400 academicians.
For every $1 donated to SAEMF, more than $3 in subsequent federal funding is generated for emergency medicine research.
