ASH selected seven fellows to receive the society’s Research Training Award for Fellows.
Support from this grant program is designed to encourage fellows in hematology, hematology/oncology, or other hematology-related training programs to pursue careers in academic hematology by providing them with protected time to conduct research during their training.

Each fellow will receive a 1-year, $55,000 grant that will help support their basic, clinical or translational research projects. Recipients may also use the funds to travel to the ASH Annual Meeting to meet leaders in the field and learn about the latest breakthrough therapies.
“Protected time for research is a key component in a fellow’s training program, but it is often hard to come by,” ASH President David A. Williams, MD, of Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and Harvard Medical School, said in a press release. “The ASH Research Training Award for Fellows demonstrates ASH’s commitment to safeguarding this time for these talented fellows who will one day make important discoveries to advance the treatment of blood disorders.”
The recipients are: Zachariah DeFilipp, MD, of Emory University; Neha Mehta-Shah, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center; Folashade Otegbeye, MBChir, MPH, of Case Western Reserve University; Pillai Pallavi Madhusoodhan, MD, of New York University School of Medicine; Giada Bianchi, MD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; David Coffey, MD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; and Benjamin Durham, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
