The mission of the AASM Foundation is to lead the field in academic sleep medicine in terms of research and education, aiming to enhance sleep health for all through funding initiatives. The RLS Foundation focuses on improving care and seeking cures for those affected by Restless Legs Syndrome through research, education, and connecting communities.
The grant, funded by a partnership between the AASM Foundation and the American Medical Association Foundation, supports medical students interested in pursuing a career in sleep medicine. It offers four $10,000 scholarships to those who demonstrate academic excellence and financial need, under the AMA Foundation's Physicians of Tomorrow program.
