Message from the Executive Vice Chair
Welcome to the Research Division within the Emergency Medicine Department, at UMass Chan Medical School and UMass Memorial Health. Research is a core mission of the department; we have an exceptional foundation in basic, clinical, & translational research. Our faculty members are dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and physicians. Did you know that the department of Emergency Medicine at UMass Chan Medical School ranked 6th in 2024 nationally as a clinical science department in obtaining NIH funding? See the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research statistics.
I am proud to be working with such a diverse group of researchers.
Sincerely,
Edwin D. Boudreaux, PhD

Our Mission:
To foster emergency medicine research through building and maintaining a pro-research culture, a robust and accessible research infrastructure, transdisciplinary and transinstitutional collaborations, and effective mentorship.
The Research Division continues with its strong track record of internationally recognized research. We currently have several NIH-funded investigators, which is very rare in departments of emergency medicine; in 2023 three of our faculty were in the top 50 for NIH funding (Edwin Boudreaux, Stephanie Carreiro, & John P. Haran); source: Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research. Also in 2023, UMass Chan Medical School ranked in the top 10 NIH-funded Clinical Science Department for Emergency Medicine departments in the country at #7. UMass Chan Department of Emergency Medicine has ranked in the top 10 for the last eleven years! source: Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research
Using highly innovative research strategies and the latest in advanced technology, our investigators have targeted a range of significant domains, including substance abuse, toxicology, tobacco, suicide prevention, bio-behavioral informatics, industrial engineering and process improvement, emergency ultrasound, emergency cardiology, critical care, and sepsis. In addition to completing their own research, the faculty has mentored medical students, residents, and fellows, in research design, methodology, statistics, grantsmanship, and scientific writing.
