Past Grants & Awards Winners

Distinguished Service Award

Criteria
It appears appropriate and desirable that the AAAAI occasionally should cite selected members with Distinguished Service Awards.

These awards would be made for long and distinguished service to the AAAAI rather than primarily for scientific achievement. In selecting recipients for Distinguished Service Awards, special consideration will be given to senior members of the AAAAI, particularly those about to retire. Past Presidents are eligible for this award.
 
The number of Distinguished Service Awards should be very limited, perhaps to one or less per year.

Mentorship Award

Criteria

The AAAAI Mentorship Award recognizes individuals who, by serving as mentors, make a difference in the careers of trainees and colleagues, and, by extension, enriched our specialty. 

Mentoring covers a wide spectrum of activities and is broadly defined. In general, a mentor is someone who made a difference in another person’s career by guidance, education, listening, being accessible, providing a safe haven, serving as an advocate, easing training, helping career development and serving as a role model.
 
The awardees are expected to have shown dedication to mentoring over a sustained period of time and to have impacted the careers of more than one mentee. Mentors from all areas of the A/I specialty are eligible including internists, pediatricians, allergists, immunologists, clinical immunologists, academic faculty, private practitioners, basic/clinical/ or translational researchers, as well as allergists / immunologists in government or industry worldwide.
