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 Sleep Research Society Foundation Small Research Grant Program offers financial support specifically designed for the research of trainees and early career investigators in sleep science. This program provides a unique opportunity for those at the beginning stages of their research careers who lack the necessary institutional resources or have yet to establish a robust record of external funding. With a funding amount of up to $5,000 for one year, the grant aims to serve as seed funding to bolster recipients' research capabilities. This initiative is poised to prepare recipients for future successes, enabling them to apply for or complete significant career development grants.
