The ATS Foundation would like to welcome all of its friends, partners, and supporters from around the world to join in celebrating the ATS Foundation’s 10th anniversary. During this landmark occasion, the ATS Foundation recognizes the ATS Foundation Research Program’s significant achievements in launching the careers of more than 183 young investigators dedicated to scientific discovery and better patient health.
As it begins its second decade, the ATS Foundation is determined to build on the program’s successes by raising $3 million over the next three years to support promising young investigators. To meet this ambitious goal, the ATS Foundation is launching the 10th Anniversary Campaign, reaching out for the support of ATS members and friends, foundations, and corporations.
Many joined the ATS Foundation as it recognized Marvin Schwarz, MD, a world-renowned expert in interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis. He was honored with the 2015 Breathing for Life Award Saturday evening during the Seventh Annual ATS Foundation Research Program Benefit.
