ASLMS Research Grant

American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, Inc.

The primary purpose of the ASLMS Research Grant Program is to conduct research that can be applied to medical and surgical care of patients. Preference will be given to proposed research projects which have a direct implication for medical or surgical applications. While the best research projects will be given priority, a concerted effort will be made to award a balance of basic science and clinical research.

Student Research Grant

For ASLMS Student Research Grant application purposes, a student is defined as an undergraduate student, graduate student (including residents and fellows), or any individual who is employed by an organization in a capacity or classification due primarily to their student status. Students cannot serve as the principal investigator for non-student research proposals.

No grant will be awarded to any person if the award would be contrary to any United States law, including but not limited to trade embargoes or sanctions administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

To be competitive for ASLMS research funding or scholarships, your application should reflect the following strengths:

✔ 1. Relevance to Medical/Surgical Laser Applications

ASLMS grants are designed to advance laser and energy-based medical technology with clinical impact. Projects that clearly articulate a pathway to patient care improvements or surgical innovation generally score higher with reviewers than purely theoretical work. aslms.org

Tip: Frame your aims around clinical utility, safety, diagnostics, therapy improvement or translational potential.

✔ 2. Strong Scientific Rationale & Methodology

The proposal should have:

Clear hypotheses or research questions

Well-justified experimental design or clinical study plan

Appropriate endpoints and measurable outcomes

Grant reviewers will assess scientific rigor and feasibility relative to the planned budget and timeline. aslms.org

✔ 3. Investigator Expertise & Environment

For Standard Research Grants, eligibility generally requires relevant training (postdoctoral, residency or similar) with evidence of capacity to complete the project.

For Student Grants, support from a qualified mentor who can guide and endorse the project increases confidence in feasibility. aslms.org

Tip: Highlight your prior work and mentorship infrastructure in the narrative.

✔ 4. ASLMS Membership & Active Engagement

Membership in ASLMS is required for research grant eligibility and recommended for scholarship applicants. Participation in society activities (meetings, abstracts, Early Career Network involvement) demonstrates professional engagement and can strengthen applications. aslms.org+1

✔ 5. Quality of Writing & Clear Translation Plan

Reviewers appreciate concise, clear exposition that ties:

Background → rationale

Methods → expected results

Project → short- and long-term impacts

Explicit links to patient care, surgical improvement or clinical adoption increase the appeal of the application. aslms.org

✔ 6. Dissemination & Impact Prospects

Include plans to publish results, present at the ASLMS Annual Conference, or engage with clinical stakeholders. This demonstrates commitment to knowledge translation — a core ASLMS priority. aslms.org

🛠 Practical Tips

✔ Start early: Join ASLMS and review grant application guidelines well before the January deadline. aslms.org
✔ Strengthen mentorship: Especially for student proposals, mentor endorsement and support letters are key.
✔ Tailor to society mission: Laser and energy-based clinical relevance should be front-and-center.
✔ Follow format & criteria: Pay attention to required pre-application steps and ASLMS member requirements. aslms.org
