Awards typically do not exceed $10,000 annually and are intended to supplement other funding sources. This initiative underscores the foundation's commitment to enhancing respiratory health through research and education.

Research Grants
Research funds are available to qualified investigators in the field of respiratory care.
The amount and frequency of this award is at the discretion of the Board of Trustees of the American Respiratory Care Foundation and dependent upon the quality of the proposals.
Objectives
The ARCF offers grants in aid for research related to respiratory care to non-profit organizations. Grants will be made only for projects in which respiratory therapists or respiratory technicians are involved in a meaningful way. As awards are generally limited to $10,000 per year, these funds are designed to supplement other forms of support for the investigation.

Eligibility

The principal investigator may be a physician or respiratory care practitioner. However, a respiratory care practitioner must be the co-principal investigator if a physician is the principal applicant.
