Description
The Oncology Nursing Foundation administers this career development award with funding from the Josh Gottheil Memorial Fund for Lymphoma Research. It supports non-advanced practice level registered nurses working in stem cell or bone marrow transplantation by helping them attend virtual or in-person nursing continuing professional development. The selected education must be specific to transplant nursing and further the nurse’s professional goals and oncology practice.
Established by Dr. Fred Gottheil, Dr. Diane Gottheil, and Lisa Gottheil, the award honors their son and brother, Josh, who died from lymphoma in 1989. Formerly named the Josh Gottheil Bone Marrow Transplant Career Development Award, it was renamed to reflect treatment advances and recognize that transplanted stem cells can come from blood, bone marrow, or cord blood.
