The goal of the Bridge Funding for Future Clinical Trial Grant RFP is to provide financial support to investigators to conduct a rigorous study that would provide the necessary data to prepare a research team for future funding to either (1) plan for a clinical trial (e.g., NIH R34) or (2) conduct a clinical trial (numerous potential funding mechanisms). Matching institutional funds are welcomed as additional support to these investigations.

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) was formed in 1991 to fill a void that has existed in sports medicine from its earliest beginnings. The Founders, most recognized and expert sports medicine specialists, realized that while there were several physician organizations which supported sports medicine, there was not a forum specific for primary care non-surgical sports medicine physicians.
MISSION STATEMENT
AMSSM provides a forum to foster professional relationships among sports medicine physicians to advance the discipline of sports medicine through education, research, advocacy and excellence in patient care.
VALUES STATEMENT
AMSSM is committed to the following values:
VISION STATEMENT
AMSSM will be a worldwide leader in sports medicine.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
AMSSM's 1st Annual Meeting was held in San Diego in July 1992, with Brian Halpern, MD as the guarantor, which held him personally responsible if the meeting failed monetarily. The rest of the Founders all verbally agreed to help cover any losses. However, this first meeting was a success! The approximately 120 physicians who attended, all trained in primary care specialties, had finally found an organization which supported their beliefs that they had a central role in providing high quality sports medicine care. By the 20th Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah in 2011, over 1,000 physicians attended the conference, and the AMSSM membership had more than 2,000 members. Thanks to the early vision and strong commitment of the dedicated Founders, AMSSM has become a strong, vital, multi-disciplinary organization of physicians.
