An important announcement to our members:
As AAR is currently replacing and transitioning to a new management system and website, directly affecting the nomination and processing of awards and grants, the AAR Board of Directors has approved a one year pause in most awards and grants during 2025. (Travel grants to the November Annual Meeting will not be affected. Book Awards are also not affected for the 2025 cycle, as they are using a different system.)
During this pause, a subcommittee of the Board is tasked with reevaluating all of the AAR’s grant and award programs. Results of this evaluation and potential changes will be announced on the new website and in member communications.
FAQs
What does this mean for nominations for awards and applications for grants?
With the exception of the book awards and Annual Meeting travel grants, there will be no award or grant nominations/applications in 2025.
What does this mean for the award and grant juries?
While juries will not be asked to evaluate submitted entries in 2025, they will likely be asked some questions by the subcommittee in order to help in the evaluation and revision of the programs. Your participation is much appreciated.
