Emergency Medicine Foundation offers up to two years of research funding. 

Funding is available up to $100,000 per grant, excluding funding requests for health economics.

The purpose of the funding is to provide medium term (up to two years) support for:

• to leverage additional funding from other granting bodies, including but not limited to National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) or the Australian Research Council (ARC) or other foundations
• original research that demonstrates importance to emergency healthcare.

Proposals that include leverage funding and/or health economic analysis are desirable and may be prioritised.
