Overview
This Special Research Grants Program aims to empower frontline clinicians in regional, rural and remote Queensland in the management of trauma patients. Clinician-researchers will be offered support in their navigation of the research path, to ensure that their ideas and voices are heard.
This program aims to:
- fund research to create an evidence base for the best emergency care of trauma patients, in particular road trauma patients, in regional, rural and remote Queensland
- identify key barriers to optimal emergency care for trauma patients and solutions to overcome those barriers through the translation of research findings into evidence-based health policy and practice
- build research capacity for trauma and emergency healthcare clinicians in regional, rural and remote Queensland.
In the most recent Grant Round 2, two projects were selected for funding. Read more here.
Grant Round 3 opens on 5 June 2023. To support clinician-researchers, EMF is offering the following:
- Clinicians without any prior research experience can apply for a scholarship to attend a university course for training in emergency healthcare research.
- Clinicians new to research can apply for mentoring support during the application stage and, if successful, for ongoing support by mentors who can provide guidance and assistance through the lifetime of the project.
- Research grants for short to medium term projects addressing the aims of the Special Research Grants Program.
EMF thanks the Motor Accident Insurance Commission for funding this program.
