Committee Mandate

The Training Awards Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the Committee on Training, provides consideration on various aspects of the ASH training awards portfolio such as the administration, evaluation (including a review of awardee progress), and exploration of program refinements. The subcommittee provides oversight of the following ASH awards including the study section process for each: Graduate Hematology Award; Hematology Opportunities for the Next Generation (HONORS) Award; Medical Student Physician-Scientist (Phy-Sci) Award; and Research Training Award for Fellows (RTAF).

The chair and members of the Training Awards Subcommittee serve two-year terms (unless otherwise indicated) with the option for an additional term.

The current study section chairs for each of the awards under subcommittee purview serve as ad hoc-non-voting members of the Training Awards Subcommittee.

Members of the Training Awards Subcommittee are expected to participate in conference calls and communicate via email as necessary.

The chair of the Training Awards Subcommittee serves as a liaison member of the Awards Committee and Committee on Training and is expected to attend the meetings of those committees.
