The AASM Foundation is grateful to the Association of American Physicians of Indian Origin – Sleep (AAPIOS) for its generous support of the next generation of sleep and circadian researchers.
At their SLEEP 2026 dinner, AAPIOS presented the AASM Foundation with a $10,000 donation. AAPIOS is a sub-chapter of the Association of American Physicians of Indian Origin and serves as a forum for sleep medicine professionals to promote education, ideas, and awareness of sleep disorders.
This contribution will support two trainees to attend the AASM Foundation’s Young Investigators Research Forum (YIRF), reducing financial barriers to this valuable career development opportunity.
The Young Investigators Research Forum is a research training program designed to aid the career development of promising early career investigators in circadian and sleep research by providing opportunities to network with senior sleep investigators, gain exposure to funding agencies and sleep funding mechanisms, refine their research ideas, and receive guidance to thrive in an academic sleep research career. Applications are open now through October 19th, 2026.
Through this gift, AAPIOS is investing directly in the future of sleep and circadian science. The AASM Foundation values this meaningful partnership, which helps emerging investigators develop skills, relationships, and confidence to build successful research careers.
