Apply for a Research Grant

The Research and Project Funding Committee oversees the grant program and makes funding recommendations to the AH&LEF board. In 2008, a total of $275,000 will be allocated to the research program. In general, proposals should be national in scope and have an impact across all lodging segments. Applicants are encouraged to review the summaries of previously funded projects.

Research Topic Ideas

AH&LA, its committees, and member hotels play an important role in the Foundation's research program by helping the Research Committee identify specific topics that need to be addressed. The Foundation will post any research topics ideas in this section in order to give potential applicants an opportunity to submit research proposals in these areas.

Currently no research topic requests have been received. If you have a research topic idea please email Michelle Poinelli with the specifics regarding the study/project.


Request for Proposals

From time to time, the Research and Project Funding Committee identifies a specific research topic and a Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued.

Application Deadlines
The deadlines for these RFPs vary throughout the year.

Obtain RFPs
Schools participating in AH&LEF's Annual Scholarship Grant Program, AH&LA member schools, and allied members whose business focus is providing research are automatically sent any RFPs. Active RFPs are posted on the website.

Active RFPs
