Resident Reviewer Program for SAEMF Grants

• Emergency medicine residents PGY 2-4 during the July 2023–June 2024 academic year dedicated to pursuing a research career
  
• Must be SAEM members

Resident Reviewers participate in the SAEMF grant review process and have the opportunity to participate in other SAEM Grants Committee meetings and objectives. Resident Reviewers are assigned a faculty mentor who will provide mentorship on evaluating and scoring grants. The Resident Reviewer program provides the opportunity for residents to better understand the components of a strong grant application and the grant review process. Neither prior research nor prior grant review experience are necessary to serve as a Resident Reviewer.
