The invaluable resources provided by the AAAAI/ ERT award will allow me to pursue allergy-related basic research at a cutting-edge level, with the ultimate goal of advancing the care of our atopic and asthmatic patients." "The ERT is incredibly generous. The ERT program speaks to the commitment of the Academy members who have so freely donated their resources to advancing our subspecialty. The award will allow me to pursue a new avenue of investigation for which I did not have funding. I feel a great deal of responsibility to use these funds to advance our understanding of cyclooxygenase's role in the development of allergy." "In concert with my wise mentors and the supportive environment at the University of Virginia, the foresight of the ERT to fund young academicians has afforded me an unsurpassed opportunity both to pursue my research and to infuse fellows, residents and students with enthusiasm for academics." "At a very critical moment in my allergy/immunology academic career, the ERT Faculty Salary Award provided me the opportunity to devote a significant percentage of my time and effort to research and teaching. The ERT board of trustees should be commended for their vision in providing through those grants that much needed moral and financial support to the future leaders of our specialty." "Support from the ERT has allowed me to work on innovative ways to teach our fellows-in-training and measure their progress, thus ensuring that they become excellent allergists/immunologists. That is critical to survival of our specialty." "This grant will play a pivotal role in this transition phase of my career, by giving my research, as well as my academic career, a chance to develop firm footing." "The AAAAI ERT award has allowed me to focus my energy on learning the molecular genetics skills necessary to identify the FCU gene and to study the genetics of allergic and immunologic diseases as I become an independent investigator." 1997 "The ERT award provided an extremely important bridge of funding between my initial post-doctoral award and my initial R01 awards. Without this support, I would not have had the time to expand my post-doctoral research or develop new research areas with the breadth required for support by major independent research grants." "ERT funding came at a critical point in my career. I was just starting up a lab. By freeing me from the need to support myself through clinical activity, ERT allowed me to focus on designing and executing the experiments that ultimately formed the basis of an independent research program." "The ERT Award helped me establish an independent laboratory at Yale University School of Medicine to study the X-linked hyper IgM and a model for gene therapy of X-linked hyper IgM."
