Description
The National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA) established this award in 2023 to recognize outstanding early-career scientists and clinicians advancing the understanding and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) through patient-oriented research. Named in memory of Jennifer Luft, who experienced pulmonary emboli at age 23 and died in 2022, the award supports work focused on improving care and outcomes for people affected by blood clots.
Research may span basic, translational, clinical, epidemiologic, bioengineering sciences, or other fields, provided the project is specific to blood clots and patient-oriented. Potential research priorities include shared decision-making, access to care, quality of life, and health disparities. Alongside research support, the award can fund professional development and other activities aligned with patient-centered VTE research and clinical science.
