ST*AR Program
Funded through an educational grant from ALTANA Pharma.
The Strategic Training in Allergy Research (ST*AR) Program was developed to provide PhD students and PhD post docs with an opportunity to learn about research opportunities in the field of allergy and immunology.
This travel award will send selected participants to the Annual Meeting to meet with ST*AR Program faculty and attend a specially designed program, AAAAI general programming and abstract presentations. Successful applicants for this program must be first authors on an abstract that gets accepted for presentation at the 2006 AAAAI Annual Meeting. Funds for travel, hotel accommodations and meeting registration are provided.
For more information on the ST*AR Program, please contact Reaca Pearl at the executive office at (414) 272-6071, rpearl@aaaai.org.
The ST*AR Program is a presidential initiative of F. Estelle R. Simons, MD FAAAAI.
