Description
The ASH Research Training Award for Fellows (RTAF) is designed to support junior researchers in hematology, hematology/oncology, and related training programs as they transition toward academic careers. The award provides protected research time and resources to fellows, enabling them to develop expertise in clinical, basic, translational, or outcomes-based hematology research. The RTAF aims to help fellows become competitive for subsequent research opportunities, such as the ASH Scholar Award, by fostering career development and research productivity.
