The AADR Fellows Program is designed to recognize leaders of AADR and individuals who have served AADR in various ways throughout their careers. Through this Program, AADR will strengthen its mission of supporting and representing the oral health research community, which supports the overall AADR mission.
The AADR Fellows Program is open to active AADR members.

- An AADR Fellows Program lapel pin.
- The opportunities to network with other Fellows at the Fellows lounge at the AADR Annual Meeting.
Expectations of the Fellows
Applicants who are accepted into the AADR Fellows Program should be active in many facets of AADR. Fellows may:
- Take part in the election of new Fellows.
