The AAAAI Foundation recognizes the challenges that early-stage investigators face in securing research funding. That’s why in 2024, we established the AAAAI Foundation Award to Sustain Research Excellence – to help support outstanding early-career research during a pivotal time in their academic journey. This award aims to help investigators maintain momentum as they launch their independent research programs, ensuring continued progress and innovation in the A/I field.

This one-year, $100,000 bridge grant is designed to support your path towards long-term success.
