Be a part of discovering new and exciting medical applications. A contribution to the ASLMS Research Fund provides a way for every member to participate in important research efforts.

Innovations in applications of lasers and related technology will continue in direct relationship to the financial support for research and development. The ASLMS Board of Directors has established a fund specifically to provide research grants to foster development of laser and energy-based technology in health care. Annually, the ASLMS Research and Development Committee awards these grants to members to support developments that improve patient care.
