ASH-AMFDP Award
The Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was created to increase the number of faculty from historically marginalized backgrounds who can achieve senior rank in academic medicine, dentistry, or nursing and who will encourage and foster the development of succeeding classes of such physicians, dentists, and nurse-scientists. Four-year postdoctoral research awards are offered to historically marginalized physicians, dentists, and nurses who are committed to developing careers in academic medicine and to serving as role models for students and faculty of similar background. ASH has partnered with the Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program (AMFDP) of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on the ASH-AMFDP Award for hematology physicians.
The ASH-AMFDP Award offers four years of postdoctoral research support to underserved and underrepresented physicians who are committed to developing careers in academic medicine and to serving as role models for students and faculty of similar backgrounds. The award includes an annual stipend of up to $75,000, an annual grant of $30,000 to support research activities, the support of a National Advisory Committee mentor, complimentary ASH membership, and a stipend to support attendance at both the ASH and AMFDP annual meetings for the four years of the award.
This award is part of the ASH Minority Recruitment Initiative.
Ultimately, I would like my research to improve patient care; at this point, identifying effective, targeted therapies in myeloid disease is the primary goal. The ASH-AMFDP Award not only provides funding to help me achieve this goal, but it also provides support from an outstanding community of scientists and clinicians.
