ASH Research Training Award for Fellows

American Society of Hematology

The ASH Research Training Award for Fellows (RTAF) is designed to encourage junior researchers in hematology, hematology/oncology, and other hematology-related training programs to pursue careers in academic hematology. The RTAF is open to both MD and MD-PhD researchers between their second and fifth year of fellowship.

Program Benefits

The award provides each recipient with $70,000 for a one-year period to guarantee protected time for clinical, basic, or translational research. Additionally, funding is available each year for up to four RTAF recipients to apply for a second year of support.

The funds give fellows in training more time to generate sufficient expertise to be competitive when applying for other awards, such as the ASH Scholar Award, which targets applicants with more extensive research experience and a record of past research success (e.g., publications). Awardees also receive $1,000 the year after their award to support attendance at the ASH annual meeting.

Supported Research

Applicants must submit proposals to conduct research in hematology. Proposals that fall within any of the categories discussed below are encouraged:

Basic Research
Translational Research
Patient-Oriented Clinical Research
Outcomes-Based Research

For additional details on eligible research categories, please consult the Research Definitions page.

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must meet the following criteria to qualify for the Research Training Award for Fellows by the application deadline:

Be a fellow in an ACGME or RCPSC accredited hematology, hematology/oncology, or hematology-related training program in the United States or Canada.

Other Eligibility Requirements

Be an ASH Associate member in good standing or have a membership application pending. To verify your membership status, please log in to your ASH account.

Not an ASH member yet? Take the first step. Submit your membership application at least three weeks prior to the RTAF application deadline to allow sufficient time for processing.
Possess an MD, DO, DO-PhD, or MD-PhD degree.
Plan to pursue an investigative career in hematology research.
Propose research focused on a hematologic condition (solid tumor projects are not eligible).
Have clear and documented support of an established mentor who has active funding (e.g., NIH, federal, foundation, or private) and will remain funded for the duration of the award term, or who is recognized through national clinical leadership (if the project is clinical). The mentor must be an ASH member in good standing for the duration of the award term. If the mentor is not in a hematology-related field, a supporting letter from an ASH member is required. Additional mentors can be recommended by members of the RTAF study section.
Provide documented support from the program director for dedicated research time during the award period.
Provide a document from an institutional leader who has the authority to ensure that at least 75 percent of the applicant's full-time professional efforts will be devoted to research during the funded period.
Eligible applicants may not hold other ASH awards during the RTAF award term.
Eligible applicants may not hold other career-development funding during the award period, including but not limited to foundation and NIH career development awards (e.g., K12, K23, K01 K08, T32).
The RTAF is to be the recipient's main source of salary support; however, in the event that the recipient's salary is not fully covered by the RTAF, supplementary funding from non-career development awards or grants may be used to pay the balance of the recipient's salary.

Please note: assistant professors and National Institute of Health employees are not eligible to apply.
