Carl V. Gisolfi Memorial Fund | Doctoral Student Grant

Carl Gisolfi headshotCarl V. Gisolfi, PhD, FACSM, one of the most influential leaders of ACSM in its history, served as ACSM President and received the ACSM Honor Award.

This grant is designed to encourage research in thermoregulation, exercise, and hydration.
