ATS ASPIRE Program – Share and Apply!
The ASPIRE (Academic Sleep Pulmonary Integrated REsearch/Clinical) fellowship is designed to generate a pipeline for the next group of pulmonary/sleep leaders.
The program includes a collaboration between the ATS and several outstanding institutions that have strong Pulmonary/Critical Care/Sleep training programs. These include the University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, University of Pittsburgh, Harvard University, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and UC San Diego Health System. Eligible fellows do not need to come from a primary ASPIRE institution, but the institution/department needs a T32 grant or RO1 funded faculty.
Generous financial support for this important program has been provided by ResMed, Philips Respironics, and Fisher & Paykel.
Applications are due Monday June 15, 2020. Learn more!
