Research
Grant Program
Each year, the Foundation grants two Faculty Development Awards of $240,000 each, paid out over three years. These Awards support the career development of junior faculty members in the specialty of allergy, asthma and immunology through basic and clinical research.
Our goal is to grant a third Faculty Development Award in 2018 with funds raised through the Grow Allergy and Immunology Now - GAIN - Campaign. Your support in 2017 will lead to more research in 2018. Please consider making a gift today!
The Faculty Development Award program opens June 30, 2017.
Selection Process
Award recipient decisions are made by the AAAAI Foundation Council in consultation with the AAAAI Board of Directors. These decisions are based upon the recommendations of the AAAAI Grant Review Committee. The awards will be publicly announced at the 2018 AAAAI Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. Award recipients are notified in January.
