History 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 2009, the ACSM
offered eight research initiatives and awarded approximately
$95,000 among 17 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.
