Grants

The California Respiratory Care Foundation (CRCF) provides grants to fund research in the areas of Respiratory Care and for the development of local, regional, and statewide projects. By design, these grants will help Respiratory Care professionals and students better serve their patients, support teams, and the communities in which they work.

The process of securing grant monies can be difficult and requires locating grants and then submitting a proposal to secure the funds. CRCF removes these barriers of access by performing these tasks on behalf of Respiratory Care professionals and students. The CRCF Research Committee regularly searches for research grants related to Respiratory Care and lung health, writes a grant proposal and submits the proposal to the grant maker. Once the grant maker approves and provides the funds, the CRCF will notify the Respiratory community through its networking contacts and website announcements. Interested parties will be provided with an application and instructions on how to complete the application process and request available funding through the CRCF.
