Description
Established in 1972, the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation’s Judith Graham Pool (JGP) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship supports early-career researchers pursuing basic science and pre-clinical research in inherited bleeding disorders. Permissible topics include the biochemical, genetic, and hematologic aspects of hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, and related conditions. Projects may also address joint disease and orthopedics, women’s health, or therapeutic modalities pertaining to bleeding disorders.
The fellowship honors Dr. Judith Graham Pool, whose discovery enabled the production of cryoprecipitate from human plasma. Supported projects have contributed to safer concentrates, improved testing and screening, and the groundwork for current advances in hemophilia gene therapy. Proposals aligned with NBDF’s community-defined research priorities are considered highly competitive.
