Description
The ASID Foundation Research Grants support projects that translate research into actionable design principles, guidelines, and tools designers can apply in their work. Made possible by the Polsky Fund, the program is open to students, educators, practitioners, and interior design-related groups. Its focus is practical value: expanding knowledge about interior design’s impact on behavior, health, and well-being in both education and practice.
The Foundation seeks outputs that support design practitioners, clients, and end-users, rather than knowledge alone. Completed research projects must be developed into educational resources and shared with the design community. The program contributes to the Foundation’s broader mission of supporting informed, sustainable, and healthy initiatives in built spaces and providing research-based resources that designers and students can use in their projects.
