Founded in 1984, the ACSM Foundation receives, administers, and disburses funds to support the mission of ACSM through educational, scientific, and charitable purposes. Each year, the foundation awards more than $150,000 in research grants and scholarships.
Since 1989, with the support of our members and strategic partners, the foundation has awarded more than 650 scholarships and research grants to students and sports medicine research professionals totaling more than $3.7 million.

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.
