The Ohio Chapter of the Society of Critical Care Medicine is proud to sponsor two Research/Quality Improvement Grants. Each grant allows for up to $2,000 in funding towards completion of either a translational research or quality and patient safety focused initiative in the intensive care unit. The funds cannot be used to cover travel expenses for conference attendance. The funding is to support independent projects, aimed at improving the quality of care or patient safety of critically ill patients by identifying and implementing changes within the intensive care unit. For all grant submissions, the principal investigator and team members are responsible for the design, implementation, and conduct of the independent initiative supported by the grant.
Grant recipients will have two years to complete their project. An update on progress is required to be submitted to the Ohio Chapter Executive Board every six months. Grant recipients will present on their interim progress at the Spring Symposium in 2026 and final project results in 2027. Any subsequent publications or abstracts must acknowledge support received by the Ohio Chapter for the work.
