Project Summary / Abstract The Emergency Medicine Research Training program will continue to provide postdoctoral scholars with didactic and mentor-driven experiential training in clinical emergency care research, focusing on topics within the mission of NHLBI. This program provides a curriculum customized for early career investigators to teach skills for a research career in the unique setting of emergency care, thus providing training not available in other training programs. Specific aims are (1) to sustain the administrative structure for the program, (2) to engage faculty in formal mentoring roles (3) to organize a curriculum that specifically addresses unique aspects of emergency medicine and acute care research, and (4) to recruit and monitor the initial and long-term success of high-quality emergency medicine clinical investigators. Scholars will be early career physicians or post- doctoral scholars who focus on acute illness and injury. Over two or three years, scholars will conduct primary investigations with input from expert mentors with acute care research careers. A didactic program, including a thesis, will lead to a master’s or other advanced degree. A short-term experience for medical student or other predoctoral trainees will continue to recruit high quality individuals from diverse groups into emergency care research careers.
