Medical Student and Early Investigator Awards
Physician – Scientist Career Development Award The Physician – Scientist Career Development Award is a new opportunity for medical students to gain experience in hematology research and to learn more about the specialty by immersing themselves in a year-long laboratory , translational , or clinical investigation under the mentorship of an ASH member .
Recipients of the one-year award receive $ 42,000 in funding , which includes $ 28,000 to support the trainee , $ 5,500 for research supplies , $ 5,500 for insurance and educational expenses ( including one course ), and $ 3,000 for meeting attendance .

Minority Medical Student Award Program The Minority Medical Student Award Program is an 8- to 12-week research experience for students in their first or second year of medical school . Awardees are paired with ASH members who serve as research and career-development mentors throughout the participants ’ medical schooling and residency .
At the end of the research experience , students present their findings during the Promoting Minorities in Hematology Presentations at the ASH annual meeting . After the research year , the students remain involved with ASH throughout medical school and residency to keep them engaged in the study of hematology and to help them gain valuable knowledge in the field . In addition , students who participate in this program may apply to the program for a second summer research experience . Participants receive the following support :
• A stipend of $ 5,000 to support participants during their summer research experience
• A $ 2,000 allowance for travel to the ASH annual meeting
• $ 1,000 for attending the annual meeting
• $ 1,000 for a short presentation about the research experience at a special reception
• Complimentary subscriptions to Blood , The Hematologist , and ASH Clinical News during their remaining time as a graduate student
ASH Clinical Research Training Institute
The ASH Clinical Research Training Institute ( CRTI ) is a year-long education and mentoring program for hematology fellows and junior faculty at academic medical centers that offers a broad education on clinical research methods , research collaborations , statistical analysis , and managing the demands of family and career .
The CRTI begins with a mandatory week-long summer workshop that focuses on the foundation , methodologies , and application of patient-oriented clinical research . Participants are matched with workshop faculty members and a small group , providing them with intensive exposure to mentorship and networking resources . Throughout the week , the participants further develop their own proposed patient-oriented clinical research projects , refining and revising their plans through interaction with faculty and peers .
In addition to the summer workshop , two subsequent mandatory sessions , the first at the ASH annual meeting in December and the second in May at ASH Headquarters in Washington , DC , provide an opportunity for further interaction and mentoring throughout the year .
