This Year, Partner With SAEMF to Fund Emergency Medicine’s Future

Join the Annual Alliance, a community of academic emergency medicine leaders as they connect, network, and influence the future of emergency medicine. It's easy: donate online today or download the pledge form and your gift will help fund future researchers, educators, and leaders. Your participation is essential to the specialty's progress. Each year SAEMF makes a significant investment in emergency medicine’s future by funding close to $700,000 in research and education grants. This is only possible through the generosity of our Annual Alliance donors. These visionary donors make SAEMF’s work possible by partnering with us to award more and larger grants and to ensure vital resources for initiatives that build emergency medicine's pipeline of researchers and educators. SAEMF’s donors have a generous spirit and often choose to support year after year. This is the case with Amy H. Kaji, MD, PhD, SAEM’s president and a Sustaining donor of the Annual Alliance. We recently asked her to share her thoughts about the importance of personally contributing through SAEMF’s Annual Alliance: “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 a Donor of the Annual Alliance. If you have not already done so this year, please consider an annual alliance donation.”
