Community Programs
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.
Disaster Relief Fund
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.
Sleep Champion Award
The Sleep Champion Award celebrates successful community-based sleep health services and education provided by non-profit organizations. AASM members are encouraged to nominate organizations that serve their local communities by providing best-in-class care and/or education.
SLEEP Travel Grant for AASM Patient Advocacy Roundtable
Supports attendance at the SLEEP meeting for organizations that are members of the AASM Patient Advocacy Roundtable and have limited financial resources to attend.
SRS and AASM Foundation Dependent Care and Accessibility Grant
The SRS and AASM Foundation recognize that many SRS and AASM members have caretaking responsibilities at home, limiting access to attend professional conferences and events. These responsibilities may include care for young children, an ill or disabled spouse, an aging parent, or other situations the SRS and AASM Foundation may not be aware of. Members who have a disability that may require additional assistance when traveling also qualify.
