Description
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) partners with the Amos Institute for Medical Faculty Development (AIMFD) to support hematology researchers through four years of mentored postdoctoral research. Part of ASH’s Hematology Inclusion Pathway, the award supports basic and biomedical research, clinical investigation, and health services research and epidemiology.
The program seeks future leaders whose varied lived experiences can help advance biomedical science, transform healthcare, and improve health for all people. It combines salary and research support with professional growth, leadership training, and access to a national network of medical researchers. Awardees receive guidance from institutional mentors and an AIMFD Scientific Advisory Group of Experts mentor whose research interests align with their own.
