Through our research programs, we invest in innovative, evidence-based projects with the potential to improve patient care as well as deliver economic benefits to the healthcare system. Within two years, much of the research we fund will impact the way Australians are cared for in a medical emergency. That’s because we prioritise research with the potential to improve clinical practices in the short-term and we embed translation into our programs.
We operate two highly competitive grant programs – the Queensland Research Program and a national Rural and Remote Program. Through these programs, we aim to support high-quality research directed at improving the care of patients in a medical emergency while also developing emergency medicine research capacity nationally.
Operating since 2008, this is EMF’s flagship research program. Fully funded by Queensland Health, the Program has led to the growth of a vibrant emergency medicine research community in Queensland. The Program includes grant schemes open to all Queensland Health clinicians engaged in providing direct clinical care to patients in an emergency.
