What they want
The program provides a two-year training for post-doctoral fellows (MD, MD-PhD, and PhDs) and two short-term training positions for medical students. Post-doctoral trainees pursue research-intensive programs in basic/translational or clinical investigation, supplemented by coursework in statistics, attendance at research conferences, and graduate-level courses. Career development activities include "T32 Strategy" seminars and monthly research in progress meetings. Medical students participate in an 8-12-week immersive research experience in mentor labs and attend a national hematology meeting. The program emphasizes recruiting and retaining trainees with strong interests in classical hematology and transfusion medicine.
Deliverables
- Training of post-doctoral fellows in hematology and transfusion medicine research
- Training of medical students in hematology and transfusion research
- Expansion of the research workforce in hematology and transfusion medicine
- Development of future clinician-scientists
How they evaluate
- Careful selection of trainees
- Research proposals focused on one of four fields of study: Transfusion Medicine and Hemoglobinopathies; Hemostasis & Thrombosis; Hematopoiesis & Cellular Therapy; Molecular Biology, Signaling & Genetics
