of ACSM's Foundation Research Grant Program
The ACSM Foundation established its Research and Grants program
in 1989. The program began with one research initiative in basic
and applied science, and awarded a total of $50,000 among five
doctoral research students. Earlier in 2008, the ACSM
offered eight research initiatives and awarded approximately
$110,000 among 19 research students.
Many of the past grant winners (see below) have gone on to
become Fellows of the College. Their research has been a stepping
stone to enabling them to be prominent experts in their
field.
