Emergency medicine (EM) has been a specialty since 1979, but it ranks last among all specialties in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding per academic faculty [1, 2]. Recognizing the diverse areas of research and the need to coordinate emergency care research across institutes, the Office of Emergency Care Research was founded in 2012 [3]. This report quantifies funding diversity by specialty, with the long‐term goal to inform strategic growth in emergency care research. As a secondary objective, we measured funding concentration by institution across specialties.
