Mary Rodes Gibson Memorial Award in Hemostasis and Thrombosis

ASH is excited to announce the Mary Rodes Gibson Memorial Award in Hemostasis and Thrombosis, a new addition to the ASH Merit Award program.

This annual award shall be granted to a trainee (undergraduate student, medical student, graduate student, resident physician, or post-doctoral (MD or PhD) fellow) who is the first author and presenter of the highest-scoring abstract submitted in the field of hemostasis and thrombosis. The recipient of the award shall receive a $5,000 grant and a $1,000 allowance for travel and expenses to the ASH annual meeting.

This award is made possible by the Mary Rodes Gibson Hemostasis-Thrombosis Foundation to continue the legacy of Mary Rodes Gibson who suffered from severe, type three von Willebrand’s disease.

How to Apply
As with the other Merit Awards, an individual is automatically considered for this award if one of the categories of eligibility boxes is checked in the area of the online abstract submission program regarding the “Travel/Merit Award Applicants.” This merit award is not based on financial need; therefore, no letter is required.
