Research

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.
