Each year, the AACEM/AAAEM Annual Retreat in March kicks off this important challenge that raises vital funds to help strengthen the pipeline of emergency medicine (EM) researchers who will advance this specialty in the future. Since 2019, you and generous AACEM members have raised over $410,423 to support your own researchers and educators through SAEMF’s grants. Last year alone, you raised over $133,587! The Challenge has resulted in a vibrant annual funding campaign which has led to SAEMF awarding nearly $850,000 back to your departments. In 2023 we hope to turn the challenge map green by achieving 100% participation from AACEM Chairs in each state. Browse the SAEMF Donor Guide to learn about SAEMF’s impact, our researchers and the work they are doing, and how you can join your colleagues in supporting a bold vision for EM research. Then donate today to be one of our first 2023 Chairs’ Challenge donors!
