Strategic Research Grant: AASM Strategic Plan Goals

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine Foundation (AASM)

Open to projects related to the following American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Strategic Plan Focus Areas: Sleep Medicine Awareness, Practice Success, and Technology Implementation. Projects that address the AASM Strategic Plan Goals must advance the field of sleep medicine and population sleep health.

Projects that use, study, or expand AASM sleep education resources, AASM Sleep is Good Medicine campaign, AASM quality measures, #sleeptechnology, AASM guidance documents, or results from AASM Foundation-funded projects will be given priority.

Details and examples for each of these specific focus areas are provided below. Only applications that fit into one of these focus areas will be considered responsive.

Sleep Medicine Awareness – Advance the understanding of the value of sleep medicine. Examples of projects that fall under this strategic goal include, but are not limited to:

Developing strategies that build awareness about how sleep disturbances and sleep disorders cause or are associated with other health conditions.
Understanding the impact of screening for sleep disorders by non-sleep clinicians.
Evaluating the economic impact of treating sleep disorders on long-term healthcare utilization.

Practice Success – Enhance knowledge about how to deliver quality, innovate care to achieve better outcomes for patients with sleep disorders. Examples of projects that fall under this strategic goal include, but are not limited to:

Developing and testing comprehensive and innovative models of care that use a team-based approach for long-term care and management of people with sleep disorders.
Evaluating the value of services provided by sleep physicians and the sleep team (e.g., economic modeling, retrospective analysis of claims or electronic health record data) and/or assessing how their roles in patient care may evolve in the future.
Studies that improve patient-centeredness of care by improving the understanding of:
- Patient preferences and satisfaction with different treatment options for sleep disorders.
Predictors of treatment adherence.
Comparative effectiveness research, especially in special populations (e.g., pediatrics, women, older adults, people with comorbidities), of:
Diagnosis of sleep disorders (e.g., new diagnostic devices, delivery methods, alternate metrics for diagnosis or characterization of disease severity, endotyping)
Interventions and delivery methods to treat sleep disorders.
Interventions (e.g., technology, behavioral, psychological, pharmacologic) to improve sleep disorder treatment adherence.

Technology Implementation – Increase knowledge of new and emerging technologies, as well as artificial intelligence, in clinical care. Examples of projects that fall under this strategic goal include, but are not limited to:

Evaluating current and new technology for expanding delivery of sleep care to improve patient outcomes, quality of care, and cost-effectiveness.
Leveraging consumer wearables for promoting and improving sleep in patients, increasing engagement with the sleep team, monitoring and improving patient care and treatment adherence.
Harnessing large datasets and computing power to yield greater clinical sleep insights, augment clinical expert opinion of sleep data, enhance diagnostic abilities, patient care, and/or treatment, increase efficiency, or decrease administrative burden.
Clinical research on heterogeneous populations comparing artificial intelligence to traditional approaches.
