The American Society of Hematology (ASH) Research Training Award for Fellows supports junior researchers in hematology, hematology/oncology, and related training programs who intend to pursue academic hematology careers. It provides protected research time to help fellows develop expertise and become competitive for subsequent funding, including the ASH Scholar Award.
The program supports basic, translational, patient-oriented clinical, and outcomes-based hematology research. Eligible work can include laboratory and computational studies, human biology-based interventions, clinical trials, health services research, and epidemiologic studies of blood disorders. Clinical research must involve substantial interaction with patients and/or patient medical records. Projects must focus on a hematologic condition; solid-tumor projects are excluded.
