ACSM aims to facilitate the science and scientific interaction of its members. As such, we are pleased to offer a new opportunity to utilize your ACSM membership and network to promote research needs specific to participant recruitment.
ACSM will consider requests from members to promote their participant recruitment needs (e.g., a summarized research description and call for participants).
If approved per the instructions below, ACSM will disseminate these requests among our membership using our bi-monthly newsletter, The Bulletin.
ACSM will work with the investigator of the request to coordinate the dates of placement in The Bulletin. Information will be placed in two editions of the newsletter and an attempt will be made to accommodate the investigator’s preferred dates, as is feasible given user demand.
Applications will be reviewed and approved/declined by the ACSM Scientific Affairs Manager and Science Integration Leadership Committee.
Approval of application and placement of information in The Bulletin does not imply endorsement by ACSM and language stating ACSM’s disclaimer will be included with the placement.
A copy of study IRB approval must be provided at the time of application. Additionally, a letter will be required from corresponding IRBs, verifying Institutional ethical approval of recruitment through email lists, newsletter, and websites, prior to publication.
ACSM aims to facilitate the scientific contribution of its members. As such, we are pleased to offer a new opportunity to utilize your ACSM membership to become engaged with the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR). The CSR has launched an online portal through which scientific societies may recommend scientists to serve as NIH reviewers. This new portal results from the need to maintain, refresh, and expand a pool of well-qualified reviewers across the CSR portfolio of granting agencies. We are happy to consider ACSM members interested in serving on a NIH Study Section and recommend their participation if they meet the requirements identified.
This session explores the physiology of hydration through an integrated lens—examining how carbohydrate, sodium, flavor, and fluid interact to influence intake, absorption, retention, and performance. We’ll review current research on fluid balance, osmotic drivers, and palatability, highlighting mechanisms that underpin voluntary intake and thermoregulation. Attendees will gain insight into individualized strategies, including sweat profiling and timing approaches, to optimize euhydration and mitigate performance decrements associated with >2% body-mass loss. Practical applications will be linked to laboratory- and field-based research, ensuring translation from bench to field. This pre-conference equips you with evidence-based tools to support athlete hydration across diverse environments and sporting contexts.
