Description
The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) supports clinicians committed to the bleeding disorders community through research and practice projects that develop outcome-related data, improve care delivery, and expand nursing science. Topics of interest include clinical pathways, measurable care outcomes, service utilization, epidemiology, patient and community education, rehabilitation, therapeutic modalities, psychosocial issues, women’s health, liver disease, and HIV/AIDS.
The program encourages multidisciplinary collaboration involving nursing, social work, physical therapy, and genetics, as well as collaboration between hemophilia centers. Regional applications are also considered. Projects are assessed for scientific merit and relevance to NBDF’s research priorities, including the community-defined National Research Blueprint. The grant forms part of NBDF’s Excellence Fellowships supporting research and clinical projects in inheritable bleeding disorders.
