Applying for a TOS grant offers researchers, clinicians, and organizations the opportunity to advance impactful work in obesity science and care. TOS grants provide non‑repayable funding, making them an accessible way to support projects that can meaningfully improve patient outcomes and expand scientific understanding.

- Improve Patient Care: Grants can enable projects focused on clinical management, patient support programs, and strategies to improve health outcomes in underserved or high‑risk populations.
- Build Infrastructure & Capacity: Funding may support equipment, data collection tools, training, or program expansion—strengthening the capacity of researchers and institutions working in obesity care.
- Career Development Opportunities: Early‑career investigators benefit from grant funding that enhances their scientific credentials, supports training, and provides a foundation for future research success.
- Increased Credibility & Future Funding Potential: Receiving a competitive grant from TOS strengthens professional reputation and can make it easier to secure future grants from federal agencies or private foundations.
