AASM Sleep Health Disparities Research

American Academy of Sleep Medicine(AASM)

It is known that sleep disturbances and deficiencies contribute to poor health and are linked to multiple chronic health problems, mental wellbeing, safety, and work productivity. Additionally, sleep disturbances, deficiencies, and disorders affect disadvantaged populations, which lead to disproportionate sleep health disparities in the United States (US) among Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians, Native Hawaiians, and Other Pacific Islanders, as well socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, underserved rural populations, and sexual and gender minority populations.1 In an effort to reduce or eliminate sleep health disparities in the US and equitably provide optimal, patient-centered, cost-effective diagnosis and care for disadvantaged populations with sleep disorders, the AASM Foundation will support sleep health disparities sleep research by funding Strategic Research Grant projects focused on these research domains:

Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Disorders

There is a need to increase access and effectiveness of sleep disorder screening and sleep healthcare services among disadvantaged groups across the lifespan, including pediatric populations. Examples of topics that fall under this research domain include, but are not limited to:

Developing approaches to promote screening of poor sleep and sleep disorders among disadvantaged populations in various settings.
Expanding access to sleep disorder diagnosis for underrepresented communities.
Increasing access to treatment and improve outcomes of sleep disorders among disadvantaged patients.

Development and Evaluation of Interventions

There is a need to develop and evaluate innovative, multi-level (patient, provider, health system) interventions that are relevant, culturally acceptable, sustainable, and scalable to targeted disadvantaged groups across the lifespan, including pediatric populations. Examples of topics that fall under this research domain include, but are not limited to:

Studying preventive sleep medicine interventions that target disadvantaged populations early in the life course.
Evaluating interventions designed to improve sleep health awareness in disadvantaged populations.
Adapting and developing evidence-based, culturally appropriate interventions across the life course for disadvantaged populations.
Evaluating existing sleep health and sleep disorders interventions and their economic impact, benefits/harms and/or the values and preferences of these interventions for disadvantaged populations.

Category I is for those applicants seeking funding for projects up to $250,000 and covers a project period of up to three years.
Category II is for those applicants seeking funding for projects up to $100,000 and covers a project period of up to two years.
Category III is for those applicants seeking funding for projects up to $50,000 and covers a project period of up to one year.

There are no restrictions on the distribution of expenses, however, indirect costs are capped at 8%. The grant is executed as a contract between the AASM Foundation and the grantee’s institution. A sample contract is available here.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Research Gaps, AASM Strategic Plan Goals, Dissemination and Implementation Research and Sleep Health Disparities Research: Open to all three funding categories, with indirect costs capped at 8%

Supported by AASM Foundation general funds.

Central Disorders of Hypersomnolence Research: Open only to Category III proposals, with indirect costs capped at 8%
