Programs
The AASM Foundation offers community, research and training programs to support our vision of Healthier Lives through Better Sleep. For more than 20 years, we’ve supported various projects across the spectrum of translational sleep research, clinical and population health and implementation science. We also continue to invest in the careers of our future clinicians and scientists.
Our programs are open for application at different times throughout the year. Complete details on deadlines, topic areas (if applicable) and links to the application can be found under the ‘Now Accepting Applications’ section.
Now Accepting Applications for the Following
Community Sleep Health and Public Awareness Grant
The Community Sleep Health and Public Awareness Grant supports humanitarian, education, or awareness projects that focus on improving sleep health, sleep disorder evaluation and/or treatment in the community.
Diversity Supplement Grant
The Diversity Supplement Grant provides an opportunity for sleep and circadian science investigators, who have a funded research program, to support mentored sleep and circadian research training of promising students, post-doctoral fellows and clinical fellows who are members of minority groups traditionally underrepresented in US science to participate in sleep and circadian science research projects.
Disaster Relief Fund
The AASM Foundation Disaster Relief Fund was established in 2005 through the generous donations of AASM members, industry and the AASM. These funds aid sleep centers that have lost their ability to operate and provide patient care due to devastating damages to their facilities in the wake of local disasters. This invaluable financial assistance offered to affected sleep centers helps to ensure that medical care remains available to their patients, even in times of crisis.
Bridge to Success Grant for Early Career Investigators
The Bridge to Success for Early Career Investigators is an AASM Foundation career development grant designed to provide ‘bridge’ funding to promising early career sleep and circadian scientists who have applied for a career development grant such as a K- ward from the National Institutes of Health, a career development award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or an equivalent career development award from another federal or non-federal funding agency, but whose application was not within the funding range.
Bridge to Success Grant for Mid-Career/Senior Investigators
The Bridge to Success Grant for Mid-Career/Senior Investigators is an AASM Foundation career development grant targeted to mid-level and senior investigators in sleep and circadian science research who need ‘bridge’ funding while re-applying for research support.
Physician Scientist Training Grant
The Physician Scientist Training Grant is an AASM Foundation career development grant which supports early career sleep medicine physicians who are committed to pursuing a research career in basic, translational, clinical or population sleep and circadian science.
