ASH announced the 36 recipients of the society’s 2022 Scholar Awards.
The awards — presented to hematologists in the United States and Canada who conduct basic, translational or clinical research — provide $100,000 to $150,000 to fellow or junior faculty over a 2- to 3-year period.
The support is intended to help individuals dedicated to careers in hematology research as they transition from training programs to careers as independent investigators.
“For researchers, Scholar Awards not only provide vital financial support, but also instill confidence that ASH recognizes their potential to make discoveries of importance to the field,” ASH President Jane N. Winter, MD, of Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, said in a society-issued press release. “For more than 35 years now, ASH has supported fellows and early career faculty who have gone on to become leaders in hematology. We congratulate this year’s recipients and look forward to following the progress of their promising research careers.”
