Description
The AAI Trainee Poster Award is run by the American Association of Immunologists to support trainee participation in its annual meeting. It provides complimentary meeting registration to AAI Trainee members whose first-author abstracts are selected for poster sessions and judged exceptional. The award supports presentation of the selected work rather than a separate research project.
AAI Abstract Reviewers, association members with expertise in the relevant research fields, assess meeting abstracts and select meritorious work designated for poster-only presentation. Selection focuses on the originality and significance of the research. Eligible trainees who submit a first-author abstract to IMMUNOLOGY2027™ are considered automatically, with recognition tied to presenting the work in person.
