AARC Vision Grant Submission Form
Through generous funding from the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), a Research Program was established in 1996 to sponsor research to determine relationships between clinical interventions by respiratory therapists and the outcomes of care. The primary purpose of the AARC Vision is to provide funding to members conducting research initiatives that can document the clinical and economic impact of respiratory therapists specifically related to the organization’s mission to secure the highest quality care for all patients who suffer from cardiopulmonary disease.

The review committee seeks proposals that may include the use of the AARC Clinical Practice Guidelines, clinical interventions or issue paper statements. The committee stresses the need for the proposal to adequately describe a research plan that addresses the effect of educational level of respiratory therapist to quality of care indicators, patient safety, and/or departmental/ institutional/ company performance on core value measures. For more information, please contact Lynda Goodfellow.
