The ACSM Foundation offers several research and program grant opportunities for students, early career researchers, and Exercise Is Medicine-On Campus institutions.
Members who meet eligibility criteria may apply for these awards to offset the cost of travel and registration to present their work at the ACSM Annual Meeting.
These awards demonstrate the organizational commitment to building and recognizing the next generation of leaders in exercise science and sports medicine.
Please note that awards issued directly to individuals, as opposed to universities, are considered taxable income under U.S. federal tax law. As required by the IRS, ACSM will issue you a Form 1099-MISC for the tax year in which you receive the funds if the total amount you receive exceeds $600.
We recommend consulting a tax professional to understand how this award may impact your individual tax situation.
