Support Early-Career Investigators Though AABB Foundation’s Run for Research, Sleep In for Research

Members of the blood and biotherapies community can support early-career investigators by participating in the AABB Foundation’s Run for Research or Sleep In for Research, which will take place during the 2023 Annual Meeting. Registration fees from these events support the AABB Foundation’s Early-Career Scientific Research Grants Program, which has funded practice-changing research projects from more than 200 investigators since its founding in 1983.

Run for Research

This year, registrants for the AABB Foundation Run for Research can participate during the AABB Annual Meeting in Nashville or virtually. Registration costs $50, and participants can add a souvenir running shirt for an additional $10.

In-person participants will enjoy a guided running tour through historic Nashville with friends and colleagues on Sunday, Oct. 15. In-person runners will also receive a complimentary breakfast after the event. Those interested in participating may add this event during their Annual Meeting registration.
