Description
The American Thoracic Society (ATS) offers a suite of research grants—including the Unrestricted & Emerging Voices in Health Research Grants and several partner awards—to support early-career investigators conducting innovative research in respiratory health, pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. These grants aim to foster new scientific discoveries, encourage a diverse applicant pool, and build a more inclusive scientific community. Funding is available for both basic and clinical research, with opportunities for projects focusing on health equity, disease-specific studies (such as sarcoidosis, pulmonary hypertension, and alveolar capillary dysplasia), and work led by investigators from groups historically underrepresented in medicine and science.
