Each year, the American Society of Hematology offers merit-based awards in the amount of $500 to trainees with high-scoring annual meeting abstracts. Abstract Achievement Awards (formerly Travel Awards) are intended for those trainees who are chosen to present an abstract, of which they are the first author and presenter, at the ASH annual meeting. Outstanding Abstract Achievement Awards (formerly Merit Awards) are provided to abstract presenters with the highest scoring abstracts of which they are the first author in each of the following categories: undergraduate student, medical student, graduate student, resident physician, and post-doctoral fellow (MD or PhD). In addition to the $500 honorarium, Outstanding Abstract Achievement Award winners receive annual meeting travel reimbursement (coach airfare and two nights’ hotel accommodations).
The following individual awards are also part of the ASH Abstract Achievement Award program:
