The ERT awards are designed to recognize new, up and coming talent in A/I, providing the recipients with support early in their careers. These grants also offer recipients the freedom to pursue their research interests, further their education and educate others. Given these opportunities, many of the recipients go on to receive further awards and become established A/I researchers and teachers. It is through the generosity of donors and your participation in ERT events such as the Benefit Dinner that the ERT continues to build a fund from which the next generation of allergists and immunologists can develop.
