The AASM Foundation collaborated with the Sleep Research Society Foundation (SRS Foundation) to support the 2022 SRS Foundation Small Research Grant.

The goal of the SRSF Small Research Grant Program is to support the research of trainees and early career investigators who otherwise do not have the institutional resources to support new studies and/or do not have a sustained record of external funding. The Small Research Grant Program is intended to provide seed funding to support training and research to ultimately allow individuals to successful apply for or complete career development grants (e.g., K-awards)

The AASM Foundation funded 5 of the 14 SRS Foundation Small Research Grant recipients and they are:
