Summary: Supports transplant nurses attending virtual or in-person continuing professional development specific to transplant nursing.
Key Information: Intended for non-advanced practice registered nurses, with preference for bedside nurses devoting at least 75% to direct patient care.
Administered by the Oncology Nursing Foundation, this award supports registered nurses working in stem cell or bone marrow transplantation who want to advance their professional goals through transplant-specific continuing education. Funding supports participation in virtual or in-person nursing professional development programs and conferences, rather than education leading to an academic degree or specialty certification.
The award is funded by the Josh Gottheil Memorial Fund for Lymphoma Research. Dr. Fred Gottheil, Dr. Diane Gottheil, and Lisa Gottheil established it in memory of Josh, who died from lymphoma in 1989. Formerly the Josh Gottheil Bone Marrow Transplant Career Development Award, it was renamed to reflect advances in transplantation and recognize that transplanted stem cells may come from blood, bone marrow, or cord blood.
