Consistent with its mission, the Henry Kunkel Society seeks new members who have demonstrated significant accomplishment in hypothesis-driven, patient-oriented research, particularly in the field of immunology and related subjects, as exemplified by the scientific life of Henry G. Kunkel. The Society has been vibrant largely due to the annual addition of new members and is particularly interested in nomination of physician scientists whose work explores human or translational immunology. Individuals involved in research into mechanisms of immune-mediated disease are our natural constituency.

Current HKS members are eligible to submit nominations for new members. The requested material includes:

1. A one-page cover letter describing the nominee and his/her contributions to patient-oriented and disease-oriented immunologic research. Please include in the letter a statement that the candidate will join the Society if elected.  Attendance at the Annual Scientific Meeting is strongly encouraged.
2. A complete curriculum vitae. Current policy requires that the applicant have authored or co-authored at least 10 papers.

Call for nominations each year is announced to the membership, and submission deadline is the Friday following Labor Day. During the open nomination period, cover letters addressed to the current Membership Committee Chair and the nominees’ curriculum vitae can both be uploaded by clicking on the Nominate Members link in the Members Only page.
