TAAIS Memorial Foundation Asthma Scholarship Award Winners
Mission of TAAIS
The mission of TAAIS is to improve the quality of life of Texans who suffer from allergies, asthma and immunodeficiencies.Allergy Fellow’s Research Award
The Texas Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Society (TAAIS) is self-funding this clinical research project for a Texas allergy/immunology fellow trainee to conduct outcomes research on the allergist/immunologist’s impact in the community.
This Award will fund a proposal that addresses the influence of the expert medical care of the allergist/immunologist and how it impacts individual patients’ and/or health systems’ outcomes. Any diseases treated by the allergist/immunologist may be considered, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, drug allergy, insect allergy, food allergy, anaphylaxis, and primary and secondary immunodeficiency.
The intent of this research award is to identify the value of the input of an allergist/immunologist, to identify deficiencies in care without this input, and ultimately help to develop strategies to improve patient care.
Award proposals can address the following, but are not limited to:
The impact of consultation of an allergy/immunology specialist on patient outcomes, including adverse events, adherence to therapy, burden of illness, and quantity and quality of life.
Comparison of outcomes of standard of care diagnostic tests (i.e. skin prick testing) and treatment for allergy and immunology patients with non-standard treatment methods.
Descriptive statistics regarding the public’s general knowledge about allergy/immunology and the impact of education and advertising/marketing efforts to improve general knowledge.
