Since 1994, the Luce program has funded significant work by 142 of the Association's most talented research faculty representing a total of more than 50 ATS member schools. The Association is most grateful to the Luce Foundation for its generous gift of $1.19 million for this important work. Read more and apply now for 2015-16.
