This grant provides up to $2,000 to assist eligible non‑physician sleep professionals—such as registered sleep technologists, advanced practice registered nurses, or physician assistants—with travel and registration expenses for attending the annual meeting. The funding is intended to support first-time attendees who wish to deepen their engagement and professional development within the sleep health community.
Applicants must be U.S.-based and either hold certification (or be eligible to sit for the certification exam) as sleep technologists, or work as advanced practice providers in sleep. Notably, board members of the sponsoring organization and individuals outside the United States are not eligible . The selection process is led by a dedicated review committee that evaluates candidates based on their commitment to sleep health, the anticipated professional impact of attending the meeting, and financial need.
Beyond funding, recipients gain access to special networking opportunities at the conference, fostering collaboration and connection within the sleep professional community. The grant is offered as part of a broader mission to invest in individuals and teams who advance sleep health through clinical practice, education, and research.
In summary, this travel grant is a United States–only opportunity offering up to $2,000 for first-time non‑physician sleep professionals to attend a major health conference. It supports travel, registration, and networking, and is judged on professional commitment, potential impact, and need—all designed to bolster participants’ growth and engagement in the field.
