Growth pathway

How members grow with AASRT

Membership isn't a fixed tier — it's a track. As founding members build a track record with AASRT, there's a clear path forward:

Stage 1

Student

Join, read, and submit to JESAI. Attend workshops as they launch.

Stage 2

Researcher

Vote on association matters. Eligible to review manuscripts for JESAI.

Stage 3

Fellow

Recognized for sustained contribution — reviewing, publishing, or program involvement.

Stage 4

Mentor

Guide student and early-career members through research and publishing.

Stage 5

Advisory Member

Help set editorial policy, programming, and long-term direction.

This pathway is a direction, not an automated system yet — for now, progression happens by staying involved and talking with us directly.
