Shapiro, MD, FAAAAI 2007 ART Benefit Dinner & Reception Photos		Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Education and Research Trust (AR Trust) "At a very critical moment in my allergy / immunology academic career, the ERT Faculty Salary Award provided me the opportunity to devote a significant percentage of my time and effort to research and teaching. The ERT board of trustees should be commended for their vision in providing through those grants that much needed moral and financial support to the future leaders of our specialty. - Jocelyn Celestin, MD, FAAAAI 1999 ERT Faculty Salary Support Award View more > With your help, the ART will discover new knowledge and a better understanding of these diseases through the support of pivotal, ground-breaking research. Only .46 % of the total NIH budget is spent on research to find better treatments and cures, yet asthma alone costs our country $4.6 billion in lost productivity each year; Allergic reactions cost an additional $250 million. What triggers an allergic response? How can we predict who is at risk? What can we do to prevent allergic reactions before they happen? The answer: Research. The more we know, the better job we can do with our patients.   <back>
