AAAAI Foundation awards are administered by the AAAAI Grant Review Committee under the auspices of the AAAAI Foundation. Award candidates are selected at the discretion of the committee with the approval of the AAAAI Foundation Council and the AAAAI Board of Directors. On occasion, if too few applications are submitted, the AAAAI Foundation will issue a new call for applications with an extended deadline. In rare circumstances, an award may not be presented if an insufficient number of quality applications are received.

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 2020 AAAAI Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Award recipients are notified in January.
