Home EducationStudents Research Awards

Each year ACSM awards individuals who have excelled in health-related research.  

The deadline for the 2010 Research Awards has passed. Please check back late fall, 2010, for the 2011 Research Awards Applications

The New Investigator Awards

The New Investigator Awards are intended to recognize new investigators who, as a consequence of their educational background/training and quality of initial independent research productivity, have begun and are likely to continue to make a significant contribution to knowledge in basic or clinical exercise science or sports medicine. 

Charles M. Tipton National Student Research Award


In addition to currently enrolled students, we will now allow students who have already graduated from school within one year prior to this award's application deadline of 3/5/10 to apply.

This award will be presented to the student with the most outstanding research project of the year. An important consideration for the award is the extent of the student's participation in the project.  

Visiting Scholar Award

The Visiting Scholar Award is given to investigators who need further experience as independent researchers. The purpose of the award is to provide financial support for an investigator to visit a clinic or laboratory of his/her choice to learn new and current techniques in exercise and sports medicine. 

Congratulations to the 2010 recipients of the ACSM Research Awards!
