Description

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) provides targeted bridge funding to investigators whose highly competitive grant applications have completed peer review and council consideration but have not received funding on standard timelines. The award supports scientifically strong research programs at risk because of temporary funding delays, where future funding remains highly likely.

The program aims to preserve research momentum, prevent the loss of critical personnel, and sustain high-value scientific programs during funding gaps. Support covers essential direct costs needed to maintain research continuity, including personnel, salary, laboratory supplies, and laboratory expenses. The award is part of AAAAI’s broader effort to foster innovation, support career development, and advance research and clinical practice in service of optimal patient care.
