Grant Application Instructions Early Career & Clinician Grant Application Sample Student & Post Doc Grant Application Sample AMSSM/ACSM Breaking Barriers Research Grant | Clinician Research Grant The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) Foundation and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) are proud to announce a new collaborati on : the Breaking Barriers Research Grant .
This grant opportunity is open to physician members and is designed to support innovative research f ocused on the health and wellbeing of traditionally underrepresented communities in sports medicine . The purpose of this grant mechanism is to foster research that can “break barriers” and grow the evidence base supporting historically underserved communities within sports medicine. Carl V.
Gisolfi Memorial Fund ǀ Doctoral Student Grant Carl V. Gisolfi, Ph. D.
, FACSM, was one of the most influential leaders of ACSM in its 50+ year history. With Gatorade, ACSM created the Gisolfi Memorial Fund to honor his many contributions to the college and to the exercise science field. This grant will support research focused on exercise, in conjunction with either thermoregulation, hydration, or a combination of the two.
Clinical Sports Medicine Endowment | Clinician Research Grant The Clinical Sports Medicine Endowment funds research directly related to clinical sports medicine.
The purpose of the award is to stimulate: Clinical research in sports medicine derived from active care of athletes, such as prevention strategies, treatment protocols or treatment outcomes, and Research in clinical sports medicine directly related to issues of active care of athletes, such as pathogenesis, pathophysiology, biomechanics, or environmental issues.
The active patient care must be provided to recreational, competitive, or elite athletes. Grant applications must demonstrate the study’s direct relationship with one of these purposes. EIM-OC Franklin Microgrant | Program Grant Amounts: $500, $750, $1,250 Thanks to the generosity of ACSM past president Barry Franklin and his wife, Linda three types of grants are offered under the Franklin Microgrant Program.
These grants are meant to defray the costs of conducting Exercise Is Medicine-On Campus (EIM-OC) interventions, performing high-quality data collection and analysis of EIM-OC programming.
Sample: Franklin EIM-OC Microgrant PA Assessment & Referral Grant Application and PA Screening & Education Grant Application Sample: Franklin EIM-OC Microgrant PA Promotion Grant Application Paffenbarger-Blair Fund for Epidemiological Research on Physical Activity | Early Career Research Grant Dr. Ralph S.
Paffenbarger Jr., a co-recipient of the first Olympic Prize in Exercise Science and Sports Medicine, made an extraordinarily generous gift by donating his share of the award to ACSM. This grant is to encourage researchers early in their career to become involved with physical activity epidemiology.
Applications may focus on observational studies of physical activity and health outcomes, or on randomized controlled trials focused on physical activity and important public health issues. Raymond A. Weiss Research Endowment | Graduate Student Research Grant The Raymond A.
Weiss Research Endowment was established by the late Drs. Raymond and Rosalee Weiss to advance research into the health benefits — physical, mental, and emotional — of physical activity and sports. This grant will support applied research investigating psychological and emotional benefits of physical activity and sport.
Research Endowment | Early Career Research Grant The Research Endowment has been made possible by charitable funds and individual donations. This grant will fund mechanistic, hypothesis-driven basic and applied research in all relevant fields of exercise science. This grant’s intent is to provide seed money support, after which more funding would be sought from other sources.
Applications should clearly describe whether the aims are achieved in the pilot and how the data will be used in future grant applications. Xero Shoes’ Minimal Footwear Research Grant | Doctoral Student & Early Career Grant This grant is funded by Xero Shoes, which specializes in lightweight minimalist footwear for walking, running and athletics.
This grant will be designated for human research on the impacts of minimalist footwear on biomechanics, performance, injury, and physical activity across the lifespan.

Manage {vendor_count} vendors The Physiology of Hydration: More Than Water Alone This session explores the physiology of hydration through an integrated lens—examining how carbohydrate, sodium, flavor, and fluid interact to influence intake, absorption, retention, and performance.
We’ll review current research on fluid balance, osmotic drivers, and palatability, highlighting mechanisms that underpin voluntary intake and thermoregulation. Attendees will gain insight into individualized strategies, including sweat profiling and timing approaches, to optimize euhydration and mitigate performance decrements associated with >2% body-mass loss.
Practical applications will be linked to laboratory- and field-based research, ensuring translation from bench to field. This pre-conference equips you with evidence-based tools to support athlete hydration across diverse environments and sporting contexts.
Session 1: Sweating the detail: New insights on hydration considerations for athlete performance Lewis James, PhD, Associate Professor in Human Nutrition in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University Session 2: Functional ingredients in fluid replacement beverages for athletes Lindsay Baker, PhD, Director at the Gatorade Sports Science Institute Session 3: The hydration toolkit: Practical approaches to athlete support Floris Wardenaar, PhD, Associate Professor at the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University

On October 29, 2026, the American Indian College Fund announced a seven-year plan built on a $70 million unrestricted gift from Yield Giving, including a roughly $20 million designated endowment. It arrives as the FY2027 budget proposes eliminating dedicated federal funding for tribal colleges, and as Brookings finds that only 0.88% of U.S. foundation and corporate giving reaches Native-serving causes. What the gift covers, what it cannot replace, and how tribal colleges and Native-serving nonprofits should plan.
Read articleOn October 16, 2026 the Department of Labor awarded $81,542,854 in Workforce Opportunity for Rural Communities Round 7 grants to 13 organizations in 11 states. That is far above the $49.2M baseline in the solicitation, which means DOL drew on FY2026 money, yet it funded only 13 projects. Five came within $6,000 of the $8M cap, no award was below $3.5M, and no community college led a winning bid. Here is who won, what the pattern shows, and how to position for the next round.
