American Asthma Foundation
Research Program (AAFRP)

Over the past nine years, the American Asthma Foundation has awarded almost $60 million to 110 outstanding researchers. These United States and Canadian scientists have been drawn from a wide range of fields including biology, epidemiology, medicine, pathology, and pharmacology. Citing the impact of the AAF’s awards, Seth Feldman, AAF Executive Director, comments that “American Asthma Foundation grants have generated over $42.5 million in new funds from other sources for further asthma research.” Recently, the American Asthma Foundation has expanded recruiting efforts to major universities in Australia, Ireland, Israel, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
