Description
The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) Trainee Abstract Award supports trainee participation in its annual meeting through complimentary registration. It recognizes outstanding first-author research selected for podium presentation in Major Symposia or Block Symposia. The award supports presenting research at IMMUNOLOGY2027™ rather than conducting a separate research project.
Abstracts are reviewed by AAI members with expertise in the relevant field, who select outstanding contributions for Block Symposium podium presentations. AAI member graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are also considered for Major Symposium presentations. Eligible Trainee members are automatically considered when they submit a first-author abstract and indicate willingness to give a podium presentation; abstracts submitted as “POSTER ONLY” are not considered.
