Jerome M. Sullivan Research Fund
The fund was established to stimulate original research contributions by respiratory care practitioners to the body of knowledge comprising respiratory care. Application is now available on-line.

 The fund was created by a grant from Jerome M. Sullivan, the 1990 President of the AARC.

In general, proposals for either applied clinical research or basic research in respiratory care and cardiopulmonary medicine will be considered. This will include research studies in the theory and practice of respiratory care and respiratory care management and education. A respiratory care practitioner must be designated as principal investigator or co-principal investigator.

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.
