What is the AST Annual Giving Campaign?

The AST Annual Giving Campaign was established to build an Endowment to support core AST programs.

The Impact of Giving

Every gift makes a difference. Your gift will help increase the AST Endowment, which now supports the AST Grants Program. Past recipients confirm the critical role of AST's endowment-funded grants:

"The AST Grant supplied critical support during my early academic career to assist in maintaining and evolving basic research efforts."

- Mark Rigby, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Pediatrics & Surgery, Emory University, 2008 Basic Science Faculty Development Grant Recipient.

"The AST Grant helped me establish myself in this field as a scientist who can contribute to the understanding of biological mechanisms of disease as well as to improve outcomes in clinical patients"

- Ji Haofeng, MD, Post-Doctoral Fellow, Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, 2008 Basic Science Fellowship Grant recipient.

"The AST Grant provided me with the necessary time to develop my project and usher it to completion. It helped open doors when I was searching for an attending position."

- Jennifer Jackson, MD, Assistant Professor of Pediatric Nephrology, University of Kentucky, 2008 Clinical Science Fellowship Grant recipient.
