EN: Turning Ideas into Impact:
Dr. Deborah A. Levine of Weill Cornell Medicine has been awarded a $100,000 EMF Pilot Research Grant to advance her project, “Salivary miRNA and Elevated Intracranial Pressure in Children with CSF Shunt Malfunction.” Her research explores how saliva-based biomarkers could help physicians more quickly identify dangerous increases in intracranial pressure in children with shunts, potentially transforming how these emergencies are detected and treated.
This is where the next breakthrough begins. 🔬✨

ES: Transformando Ideas en Impacto:
La Dra. Deborah A. Levine de Weill Cornell Medicine ha sido galardonada con una Subvención Piloto de Investigación de EMF de $100,000 para desarrollar su proyecto titulado “miRNA salivario y presión intracraneal elevada en niños con mal funcionamiento de derivación de LCR.” Su investigación explora cómo biomarcadores en la saliva podrían ayudar a los médicos a identificar con mayor rapidez aumentos peligrosos de la presión intracraneal en niños con derivaciones, lo que podría transformar la forma en que se detectan y tratan estas emergencias.
Aquí es donde comienza el próximo gran avance. 🔬✨

That’s a wrap on the 2026 Grantee Workshop.

Inspired and genuinely in awe of the researchers who are shaping the future of emergency medicine.

These conversations reminded us why this work matters. Bold ideas. Thoughtful questions. Real solutions that will impact patients and physicians alike.

Grateful for each of our grantees and the work they are doing to move emergency care forward.

Day 2: Consultancy Session

The real work happens in the room.

Today our grantees stepped into a candid, closed-door consultancy session — a space to unpack the real questions behind the research. Funding hurdles. Career pivots. Study design challenges. Work-life realities. The stuff that doesn’t always make it into the abstract.

The goal? Honest conversation. Practical guidance. Zero posturing.

When brilliant minds are given a safe, supportive environment to think out loud, breakthroughs follow.

Research moves faster when no one has to figure it out alone.

An update from 2025/26 Grantee Utsha Khatri, MD, MSHP at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Supported by a $100,000 Pilot Research Grant, her team is studying how starting buprenorphine in the emergency department changes long-term treatment engagement and reduces repeat ED visits for patients with opioid use disorder.

One visit. A different trajectory.

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

EMF supports research that helps close gaps in emergency care, because fair access should shape outcomes, not chance. Find out more about our grants funding outcomes. Link in bio.
