Apply to join AAAAI for an intensive, four-day program on hypersensitivity research and career development. This invitation-only Summer School provides a special opportunity for 30 emerging physicians and scientists who are committed to an academic career in allergic diseases to receive individualized mentorship from established faculty.

Invited participants will be asked to provide a presentation of completed or ongoing clinical, translational or basic research during the program. Faculty will lead small group break-outs to discuss the essential aspects of a career in research, including managing a research team, budgeting, publishing and maintaining a work-life balance. Presentations from the NIAID will also address NIH grants and research funding processes.
