The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) Undergraduate Faculty Grant supports attendance at the AAI annual meeting by faculty members whose primary teaching responsibility is undergraduate education. Each faculty recipient selects an undergraduate student whose travel costs are supported through a separate award. The program funds meeting participation rather than a standalone research project.
The grant is available to faculty with an active research program and limited annual research support. It is part of AAI’s meeting and travel awards, which support professional development and research presentation among members. Applicants who submit abstracts to IMMUNOLOGY 2027 receive first consideration, although an abstract is not required to apply.
