Overview

Mission

The Anesthesia Research Foundation (ARF) is a 501(c)(3) foundation that was founded in 1956 by The American Dental Society of Anesthesiology (ADSA) to promote and encourage research and education in the fields of sedation, anesthesia and pain control in dentistry. Through the years, the ARF has been instrumental in identifying initiatives of interest to dentistry in the areas of sedation and anesthesia, and in providing pilot funding and grants for projects that have resulted in significant advances in basic science and translational research.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Anesthesia Research Foundation provides funding for research and education to promote safe and effective patient care for all dentists who have an interest in anesthesiology, sedation and the control of anxiety and pain.
