Dear Postdoctoral Office or Association:

We are writing to inform your institution about the Strategic 
Training in Allergy Research (ST*AR) Program inviting promising PhD 
trainees (PhD candidates or PhD post docs) interested in research 
related to allergy and immunology (e.g. molecular biology, 
pharmacology, physiology, or epidemiology) to present their original 
work at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma 
& Immunology (AAAAI) in San Diego, California from February 23-27, 
2007. 

The AAAAI Annual Meeting is the premier international meeting in this 
field. The goal of the ST*AR Program, which is held in conjunction 
with the AAAAI Annual Meeting, is to provide PhD trainees with an 
opportunity to investigate research and career opportunities in the 
field of allergy and immunology. The AAAAI Annual Meeting provides an 
excellent forum for those interested in translating basic science 
advances into clinical practice as the meeting is attended by basic 
scientists, translational clinical researchers, and clinical experts 
in allergy/ immunology.

The ST*AR Program will take place February 22-25, 2007 and is 
designed specifically for PhD trainees who have submitted abstracts 
that have been accepted for presentation at the AAAAI Annual Meeting. 
It features the following opportunities:

- Presentation of original research at the ST*AR Program, February 
22-25, 2007, and in the general AAAAI Annual Meeting Program;

-Attendance at AAAAI Annual Meeting postgraduate program and symposia;

-Basic research presentations by AAAAI members who are NIH funded 
researchers in allergy/immunology;

-Information about career opportunities in allergy and immunology research;

-Funds for travel, including airfare, ground transportation, hotel 
accommodation, meals, and meeting registration.

Please see the application for a complete program schedule and 
application requirements.  The application can be downloaded here:
