Trainees and Junior Faculty Participate in ASH Clinical Research Training Institute
(WASHINGTON, August 3, 2016)—The American Society of Hematology (ASH) today announced the names of the 22 hematology trainees and early career faculty members selected to participate in the 2016 ASH Clinical Research Training Institute (CRTI). This education and mentorship program is designed to prepare current hematology and hematology/oncology trainees and junior faculty for careers in patient-oriented clinical research.
The 2016 CRTI is a year-long program that focuses on foundations, methodologies, and applications of patient-oriented clinical research. The 2016-2017 program began this week with an intensive week-long summer workshop in La Jolla, California, during which participants will attend lectures and small-group discussions that focus on research questions, clinical trial design, regulatory issues, and funding. Throughout the week, the participants will further develop their own proposed patient-oriented clinical research projects and refine and revise their plans with faculty and peers. After the summer workshop, ASH will hold further interaction and mentoring opportunities throughout the year. The class will meet again in December at the 58th ASH Annual Meeting in San Diego and also in May at ASH headquarters in Washington, DC.
This three-part program allows trainees to examine the fundamentals of competitive grant writing, abstract presentation, and manuscript preparation; formulate strategies for pursuing and developing a successful career in hematologic research; and develop a network of other trainees to facilitate future collaboration.
The 2016 ASH CRTI summer workshop was supported in part by the National Cancer Institute, the National Heart, Lung, And Blood Institute, which are components of the National Institutes of Health.
