His work has been supported by over 30 grants, mainly from Canadian government agencies involved in the arts, communications, commerce, fitness, international relations, social science research and statistics, and others. Dr. Zuzanek has been Associate Editor or reviewer for several sociology and leisure journals and has reviewed grant proposals for the Canada Council, the Social Science and Humanities Research Council, National Endowment for the Arts, and other agencies. He has given invited papers throughout the U.S. and Canada and a dozen other countries.
