Behind every breakthrough in sleep medicine are dedicated researchers, rigorous clinical trials, and a pipeline of talented professionals committed to improving patients’ lives. To sustain this momentum, the AASM Foundation continues to expand its strategic engagement with corporate leaders, healthcare innovators, and industry sponsors whose investments directly support our flagship grant and training initiatives.
Although the medical community widely recognizes the vital role of sleep in overall health, securing early-stage funding for specialized research remains a critical hurdle. Corporate contributions and sponsorships play a vital role in closing this funding gap while demonstrating a shared commitment to advancing the field together.
The AASM Foundation launched its Corporate Recognition Program in 2019 and hosted its inaugural Corporate Roundtable at the Sleep Medicine Trends meeting in February 2020. Since then, dozens of companies and nonprofit organizations have made generous contributions, enabling the AASM Foundation to expand its program portfolio to meet the profession’s growing needs. Last year alone, grant applications increased by 70%.
Join Us in Shaping the Future of Sleep Health
“Corporate donations are far more than financial contributions; they are strategic investments in the future of healthcare,” said Joe Donohue, Director of Development at the AASM Foundation. “When corporate leaders align with our philanthropic purpose, they help us train the scientists and fund the discoveries that will improve millions of lives.”
The AASM Foundation invites industry leaders and corporate supporters to invest in the 2027 grant cycle. These contributions will help us advance research and develop the next generation of sleep medicine professionals.
