Research Grant Program


About the Research Grant Program

Research grants are awarded twice a year. To date, over $1 million has been awarded to researchers. Grants are reviewed and evaluated by the AAE’s Research and Scientific Affairs Committee. Grant recipients are notified after Annual Session for the spring cycle and after the Foundation Board of Trustees Interim Meeting for the fall cycle. Per review cycle, the highest scoring student and nonstudent research proposals receive special recognition and an additional $500 award.
