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.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be an ACSM national member in good standing before applying for funding. (This includes international applicants.) ACSM chapter membership alone does not fulfill this requirement.

- Previous ACSM Foundation grantees must submit final grant and expenditure reports prior to receiving another grant award.
ACSM Foundation expects grantees to:

- Present funded research at a future ACSM Annual Meeting, and
- Send the ACSM Foundation a copy of any publications or presentations related to the funded research.
