Description
Through its Queensland Research Program (funded by Queensland Health), EMF is supporting high quality research directed at improving the healthcare of patients in emergencies within the pre-hospital and Emergency Department settings. The Foundation is also committed to translating research outcomes into clinical practice.Through this program, core aims are to:
- fund high quality, robust, ethical emergency healthcare research
- advance the field of emergency medicine for the benefit of patients and build emergency healthcare research capacity in Queensland
- promote a research culture within the Queensland public hospital Emergency Departments, the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) and the Retrieval Services Queensland (RSQ)
- raise public awareness of emergency healthcare research
- attract national and international interest in Queensland emergency healthcare research
- facilitate and provide education and training to support emergency healthcare research
- raise funds to support emergency healthcare research.There are three EMF Queensland Program grant schemes, all directed towards improving the healthcare of patients in emergencies within Queensland public hospital emergency departments, the Queensland Ambulance Service and the Retrieval Services Queensland.1. Project Grant - These grants may also contribute partial funding to a larger research project which is seeking funding from alternative source(s) (potentially elsewhere in Australia) such as the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) or the Australian Research Council (ARC) or overseas with the pre-approval of EMF.2. Leading Edge Grant - The purpose of the funding is to provide medium term (up to two years) support for:
- seed funding for innovative research that may have the potential for future funding by granting bodies, or
- to leverage additional funding from other granting bodies, including but not limited to NHMRC, ARC or other foundations
- original research that demonstrates importance to emergency healthcare3. Jumpstart Grant - The purpose of this funding is to provide short-term (up to one year) support for innovative research that will lead to new collaborations and research teams which have potential for future funding by granting bodies.
