Application procedure

Election procedure
A two-step procedure was used. First a Nomination Committee, comprised of representatives from EAACI, namely EAACI President, Vice-President Science, and the Chair of the EAACI Science Committee, summarizes the Research Grant applications into a top five list of applicants. Then a Scientific Committee, comprised of the Presidents of EAACI, AAAAI and WAO, meets once a year to select the winners out of these five nominees.

In alignment with industry compliance and grant regulations, and EAACI awards policy the winner was required to provide an official letter with accompanying budget overview from their research institution detailing how the award money will be used for continuing the awardee`s specific research. In the final round of adjudication, the top five (5) nominees will be contacted by EAACI to request this official letter/information prior to the award winner being announced and research grant awarded..

Basis for election
The candidate’s accomplished and planned research should be of high quality and in the forefront. The planned research will contribute to a better understanding of allergic inflammation as well as improved diagnostic procedures and treatment, enabling more optimal patient management. The level of independency of the candiate’s research will also be taken into consideration.
