The prestigious AAAR Awards Program offers support and recognition to individuals who have shown outstanding achievement in aerosol science and technology.

As part of a five-year initiative, AAAR will focus on one award per year to raise awareness and encourage contributions. This year the Sheldon K. Friedlander Award is featured. This award is presented to a young scientist in recognition of an outstanding thesis.

The Friedlander Award will be highlighted during the conference at a booth in the exhibit area. In addition, for each contribution made to this award in 2005, AAAR will match it up to $1,000. We strongly encourage you to make a contribution!
