Description
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Foundation supports high-impact, investigator-initiated research that advances effective diagnosis and care for people with sleep disorders. Projects must address research gaps in AASM clinical practice guidelines, disseminate and implement their evidence-based recommendations, or advance AASM strategic goals in Sleep Medicine Awareness, Practice Success, or Technology Implementation.
Responsive work includes evaluating the value of sleep medicine, innovative care models, treatment preferences and adherence, comparative diagnostic and treatment approaches, consumer wearables, and artificial intelligence in clinical care. Health equity is important across research areas, including access, affordability, social factors, and inclusive study populations. Strategic-goal proposals receive priority for increasing equity, engaging patients, incorporating patient-centered outcomes, or assessing longer-term outcomes.
