Nuts and Bolts of Grants: Early Success in Challenging Times

The Global Emergency Medicine Academy (GEMA) Development & Grants Committee invites you to a timely and practical webinar focused on early-career success in global emergency medicine research funding. As traditional global health funding streams face increasing uncertainty, foundation and non-governmental grants are becoming critical pathways for sustaining impactful work.

This interactive panel discussion will feature early- and mid-career global emergency medicine researchers who have successfully secured foundation and non-governmental funding. Panelists will candidly share their successes, setbacks, and lessons learned - including how to identify new funding mechanisms, tailor proposals to non-federal funders, build strategic partnerships, and position pilot data for future growth. Designed for junior investigators, trainees, and faculty exploring new funding avenues, this session will offer actionable insights, practical "tricks of the trade," and real-world examples to help you navigate the evolving funding landscape with confidence.
