Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research Society

Grants and assistance: a primary strategic objective of htrs is to combat the critical shortage of skilled physician-scientists and discovery-based researchers dedicated to careers in Hemostasis and Thrombosis in north america by providing members with the opportunity to apply for investigator-initiated Research grants. Htrs offers grants through the programs outlined below, using funds restricted for this purpose and raised from pharmaceutical companies via their independent medical education (ime) grant programs or corporate philanthropy in the form of educational event or exhibit sponsorship. Htrs Research awards support physician-scientists (i.e. Academic medical researchers with mds, dos, and md/phds) and discovery-based scientists (i.e. Post-doctoral fellows and academic investigators with phds) at critical stages of their careers, including: (1) the student Research award (sra), an 8-week introduction to Research in classical hematology for undergraduate, medical, and doctoral students working with an experienced mentor; (2) the clinical scholar award (csa), a fourth and final year of intensive clinical training in hemophilia and rare blood disorders under the guidance of an experienced mentor; (3) the mentored Research award (mra), a two-year Research award for early-career investigators working with an experienced mentor. The mra is designed to prepare recipients to apply for a k-award or equivalent from the national institutes of health (nih) to formally launch their Research careers in academic medicine; and (4) the mid-career Research award, a two-year award for investigators who have completed fellowship or post-doctoral work and need support to transition from mentored Research to fully-independent, investigator initiated Research grants from the nih or other national sources.
