Reasons to give
#1 – Better Patients’ Lives
The ARCF strives to move the respiratory therapy profession forward by promoting the work individuals do each day. This support comes from grants and awards, helping RTs conduct research, advance their skills, further their education, and more.
#2 – Support Respiratory Professionals
To further the profession and encourage scientific research in respiratory care, the ARCF offers a variety of grants and awards to assist individuals in these endeavors. Awards and grants include: Undergraduate Student Awards, Postgraduate Student Awards, Research Fellowships / Abstract Awards, Achievement Awards, Literary Awards, and Research Grants.
#3 – Advancing Excellence in Respiratory Research & Education
The ARCF has been a longtime supporter of AARC Journal Conferences, consensus and state-of-the-art conferences on respiratory care issues, whose proceedings are published annually in RESPIRATORY CARE. The ARCF also coordinates the International Fellows program. Established in 1990, this program gives non-U.S. health care professionals an opportunity to visit the U.S. and observe respiratory care as it is practiced in the U.S.
The mission of the ARCF is rooted in the goal and desire to better the lives and care of patients everywhere. Your contributions to the ARCF help make this goal possible.
