Join Our 2025 Campaign

Since 1998, the AASM Foundation’s programs have been investing in career development, high-impact research projects, and community initiatives. We have awarded more than $31 million in grants because it is critical for sleep care providers to work together to address the national crisis of poor sleep and undiagnosed/untreated sleep disorders.

In annual surveys to our grant recipients, they consistently report that our funding has provided them with the following:

  • Protected time to do research
  • Opportunities to network with other researchers
  • Invitations to give research lectures at multiple national meetings and peer institutions.
  • Recognition by other organizations including CHEST, ATS, and AAN
  • Securing a permanent position or promotion at their institution

Thanks to donors like you, we can expand our programs and ensure the continuous growth of the pipeline of sleep clinicians and scientists. Your generosity makes a significant impact on the quality of healthcare in sleep medicine.

Thank you for your support,
Lynn Marie Trotti, MD, MSc
President

Each person who donates $250 or more to the campaign will receive a special thank you gift for your generous contribution.

Tax advantages of donating securities

Donating securities including stocks, bonds or mutual funds can make gifts to the AASM Foundation more impactful since people can avoid capital gains taxes and deduct the full fair market value of donated securities. The goal is to make a larger gift in lieu of selling assets and paying taxes on them. Call us today to discuss your options.
