SAEM recognizes up to three (3) candidates for the Young Investigator Awards each year. The Society’s core mission includes the creation of knowledge; these awards recognize those SAEM members who have demonstrated commitment and achievement in research during the early stage of their academic career.

 

The SAEM Young Investigator Awards are presented during the SAEM Annual Meeting. Any SAEM member may nominate a candidate.

 

The specific criteria for the award include:

1. Training and certification in emergency medicine or an ABEM specialty. 
2. Evidence of research collaboration with a senior clinical investigator/scientist. This may be in the setting of a collaborative research effort or a formal mentor-trainee relationship. 
3. Academic accomplishments which may include:
   1. postgraduate training/education: e.g., research fellowship, master's program, doctoral program
   2. publications: original scientific manuscripts (one of the two most weighted criteria), texts, abstracts,  review articles, chapters, case reports, and other works.
   3. grant awards (also one of the most weighted criteria, with competitive awards noted)
   4. presentations at scientific meetings
   5. research awards/recognition

Candidates must not have completed initial residency training before June 30, 2001.

 

The nomination must include 1) a current CV of the candidate and 2) a cover letter by the nominator addressing above areas and the impact/ future potential of the work on emergency medicine and physicians (maximum of two (2) pages.) While not required, no more than two (2) additional support letters may be forwarded, each with a two (2) page limit.

 

All nominations and support letters must be submitted electronically to jennifer@saem.org. If electronic signature is not available please submit nomination (cover letter) electronically and provide one hard copy to the SAEM Headquarters. (901 N. Washington, Lansing, MI  48906)
