American Society of Hematology Scholar Awards
The ASH Scholar Awards are designed to support hematologists who have chosen a career in research by providing partial salary or other support during that critical period required for completion of training and achievement of status as an independent investigator. Eligibility Criteria (as of August 26, 2010)To be eligible for the Junior Faculty Scholar Award (either basic or clinical/translational research), applicants must be within the first three years of their initial faculty appointment as Assistant Professor at the time of application.To be eligible for the Fellow Scholar Award (either basic or clinical/translational research), applicants must have more than two years, but less than five years postdoctoral research training at the time of application. Applicants who are fellows must have completed their ACGME clinical year plus two full years (but no more than five) of postdoctoral research at the time of application.In addition to fellows, instructors, lecturers, and research associates should apply in the fellow category. The five-year maximum for postdoctoral research training also applies to these individuals. Applicants with these job titles are not yet eligible for the Junior Faculty Award.All Applicants: * Applicants must be an ASH member or have a pending application for membership. * Applicants must work in a U.S. or Canadian institution (such as a medical school, hospital, or research institute). An institution qualifies if it independently receives and administers grants and contracts from the National Institutes of Health. * Only one application per laboratory should be submitted per category (basic research fellow, basic research junior faculty, clinical/translational research fellow, and clinical/translational research junior faculty) for this competition. * Employees of the PHS at the NIH are not eligible for these awards as their salaries for research are covered under the terms of their employment. * Individuals with R01 grants or equivilant grants at the time of application are not eligible for these awards. Individuals with K awards from the NIH are eligible to apply. * At least 75 percent of the applicant’s full-time professional effort must be devoted to research.Application ProcessASH requires applicants to submit a letter of intent by May 1, 2010, in order to be eligible to submit a full proposal in August. The letter of intent should include the following: * Cover letter signed by applicant on institution letterhead (include mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address) * Abstract of proposed project, including title (please do not exceed 350 words) * Applicant's curriculum vitae * Identify which award category you plan to apply for: o Basic Research Fellow o Basic Research Junior Faculty o Clinical/Translational Research Fellow o Clinical/Translational Research Junior FacultyPlease e-mail your letter of intent to awards@hematology.org.ASH will perform a preliminary review of these materials to confirm eligibility and the appropriateness of the research category applied to. If additional information is required, ASH staff will contact you prior to June.The full ASH Scholar Award applications will be available in early June only for those individuals who successfully submit a letter of intent by the deadline and are confirmed to be eligible.Acceptance PolicyAnyone meeting the eligibility requirements set forth above can submit an application. The review of the scholar award applications is based solely on the scientific merit and quality of the applicant. However, in fairness to programmatic balance, no more than two awards will be granted per category (basic research fellow, basic research junior faculty, clinical/translational fellow, clinical/translational junior faculty) per medical school. For this purpose, ASH defines medical school so that it encompasses all sub-institutions (e.g., University of Washington would include the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Children’s Hospital, etc.).Research SupportedBasic Research: ASH considers basic research to include a broad spectrum of studies on genes, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, biochemical and signaling pathways, receptors, cells and animals, as well as samples obtained from humans, all of which are designed to further our understanding of the blood, bone marrow, and related organs or the pathogenesis of blood disorders. The emphasis for grants in this category should be on the discovery of new knowledge in a traditional laboratory setting.Clinical/Translational Research: ASH considers clinical/translational research to include translational research, patient-oriented research, and outcomes-based research. ASH emphasizes that clinical/translational research must involve substantial interaction with patients. * Translational Research For the purposes of the ASH Scholar Awards program, translational research means using knowledge of human biology to develop and test the feasibility of relevant interventions in humans and/or determine the biological basis for observations made in individuals with hematologic conditions or in populations at risk. Translational research should be founded on and directly connected to some aspect of human biology and may encompass any form of cellular, molecular, structural, biochemical, genetic, or other appropriate experimental approach. The proposal should address clinical applications – not just test development – although the development of novel instrumentation of value to hematology is clearly within the scope of the application.
* Patient-Oriented Research For the purposes of the ASH Scholar Awards program, patient-oriented research is defined as research conducted with human subjects and involves an investigator directly interacting with human subjects. Categories of patient-oriented research include: 1) mechanisms of human disease, 2) therapeutic interventions, 3) clinical trials, and 4) development of new technologies.
* Outcomes-Based Research ASH strongly encourages applications in outcomes-based research. Options for outcomes-based research include: 1) a decision-analysis or cost-effectiveness analysis of a relevant topic within hematology, 2) survey-based research investigating practice patterns, access to care, quality of care, clinical outcomes, or quality of life among patients with hematologic conditions, 3) retrospective analyses of large administrative databases (e.g., CMS, a large insurer, SEER) that may enlighten health care policy decisions related to hematologic disease, and 4) large scale epidemiologic or genetic epidemiologic studies that define the incidence, prevalence, prognosis, and natural history or the effects of therapy of blood disorders.Applications that fall within any of the categories discussed above are encouraged.SupportAwards are limited to a maximum of $100,000 for fellow scholars and $150,000 for junior faculty scholars over a two- to three-year period, with an annual maximum of $50,000 for fellows and $75,000 for junior faculty. Up to 15 percent of the award can be (but is not required to be) used for benefits, including medical and dental insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits.All awards are activated on July 1 of the following year. The applicant has the option of concluding the award on June 30, two or three years after activation. All award payments are made on a quarterly basis – the amount depends on whether the award is being spread over two or three years. Payments are made to the appropriate financial officer of the institution as indicated on the proposed budget within the full application.General TimelineLetter of intent due Saturday, May 1, 2010Application available for those who successfully submit a LOI by the deadline June 2010Full proposal due Thursday, August 26, 2010Notification of awards Mid-NovemberActivation of award July 1, 2011

American Society of Hematology Mentor Award
Mentorship is one of the most important determinants of a successful career in hematology, yet it is often a component of career development that, while prized by recipients, is rarely rewarded. In recognition of the value the Society places on mentorship, the ASH Mentor Award was created to reward outstanding mentors in the hematology community. Superb mentors from any of the different branches of hematology are eligible for this award, including adult or pediatric hematologists; academic or community practitioners; basic, clinical, or translational researchers; hematopathologists; transfusion medicine specialists; and individuals working in industry or government. It is anticipated that awardees will have had a sustained career commitment to mentoring, a significant positive impact on their mentees' careers, and through their mentees have advanced research and patient care in the field of hematology.Each year one award in the amount of $5,000 and a plaque will be granted to an outstanding mentor in the basic sciences and one to an outstanding clinical investigator mentor. (The ASH Mentor Award Study Section reserves the right to not grant awards if no suitable nominations have been submitted.)
Award CriteriaThis award is based on the training experiences and success of the nominee’s mentees, not the mentor’s personal career achievements. For the purpose of this award, mentoring is defined as the process of guiding, supporting, and promoting the training and career development of others. The key roles of a mentor include, but are not limited to providing: * Intellectual growth and development * Career development * Professional guidance * Advocacy * Positive role modelingEligibility Criteria
Inclusion 1. All nominees and nominators must be members of ASH. 2. Nominees of all nationalities and all countries of residence are eligible; however, all application materials must be submitted in English. 3. Nominees may include adult or pediatric hematologists; academic or community practitioners; basic, clinical, or translational researchers; hematopathologists; transfusion medicine specialists; and individuals working in industry or government. 4. Nominees should have a sustained record of mentoring over time. 5. Nominators must be a mentee of the nominee, or colleagues who have personal knowledge of the nominee’s mentoring efforts. 6. Mentees should be actively involved in research, teaching, mentoring, or other leadership activities. 7. The nominator, primary, and secondary mentee must be three individuals.Exclusion 1. Prior recipients of the ASH Mentor Award are ineligible for future awards. 2. Current members of the ASH Executive Committee, the ASH Awards Committee, or the ASH Mentor Award Study Section are ineligible. 3. Self-nominations and posthumous nominations will not be accepted. 4. Recipients of the William Dameshek Prize, Henry M. Stratton Medal, and E. Donnall Thomas Lecture and Prize are ineligible for the year they receive the award.Nomination PackagesNomination packages must be submitted by May 4, 2010, to:ASH Training ManagerASH Mentor Award2021 L Street, NW, Suite 900Washington, DC 20036Nomination packages must include the following information: 1. The completed nomination form. 2. The nominee's curriculum vitae. 3. Three letters of recommendation. * A letter written by the nominator that summarizes the nominee's impact on the training/careers of his/her mentees. * Two letters written by the primary and secondary mentee (can be a former or current mentee) who can each provide a first-hand account of how the nominee influenced his or her career. Academic, clinical, and educational, achievements on the part of the mentee will all be considered important. These mentees must be willing to complete a structured telephone interview about the nominee's mentoring capacity. * Optional: Up to three additional letters of support from junior and senior faculty will be accepted, but are not required. Ideally, at least one letter should be written by a mentee who can provide a first-hand account of how the nominee influenced his or her career. Academic, clinical, educational, and regulatory achievements on the part of the mentee will all be considered as important.It is suggested that the nominees participate in the process of assembling the nomination package, since their mentoring achievements may have spanned many years, beyond the experience of individual mentees.Nomination and Selection ProcessNominations may be made by any member of ASH, based on either having been mentored by the nominee or by personal observation of mentoring provided to others by the nominee. Nominators may be mentees of the nominee or colleagues who have personal knowledge of the nominee's mentoring efforts.The ASH Mentor Award Study Section, which reviews nomination packages, includes, but is not limited to, four members from the ASH Trainee Council, one member from the ASH Educational Affairs Committee, one member from the ASH Awards Committee, one member from the ASH Committee on Practice, and one member from the ASH Committee on Training Programs.Nomination packages will be forwarded to the Mentor Award Study Section for review. The selection process has a quantitative and a qualitative phase. During the initial quantitative phase, nomination packages are reviewed and scored by the members of the Study Section on a mentoring score card. Several members of the Study Section review each nomination package.Nominations are scored based on the Award Criteria and the overall strength of the nomination package. The Study Section meets in June to review scores and decide on four to six finalists (broken out evenly in each of the two categories) to continue on to the qualitative component of the selection process.During the qualitative phase of the selection process, the nominator and the two mentees are contacted for each finalist for a focused telephone interview. Interviews are conducted by a professional interviewer and are based on the "semi-structured interview" technique of qualitative research. The interviews explore the mentoring strengths and track-record of the nominee. Focused interview transcripts are prepared and forwarded to members of the Study Section by August. Final selections will be based on a consensus of the entire Study Section during a conference call that takes place in mid-August. The Study Section will encourage nominators of highly ranked, but unsuccessful, nominees to resubmit their application in subsequent years. Final selections are sent to the ASH Awards Committee and the ASH Executive Committee for final approval by the end of August. Awardees are notified in September.Assessing the Selection ProcessThe selection criteria and evaluation tools were conceived in an effort to allow the Study Section a way to reach consensus, in a well-informed manner, about individuals who have consistently exemplified outstanding mentorship skills. Many of these skills are not easily assessed by academic rank or curriculum vitae. It is expected that awardees have outstanding academic records, but the aim of this selection process is to specifically address mentoring skills. To determine the utility and validity of the selection process, some nominees, nominators, referees, and awards committee members are asked to evaluate the nomination, selection, and award processes. These surveys are sent out and collated by ASH staff. Results are then reported back to the ASH Mentor Award Study Section and the appropriate procedures are modified accordingly.

American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Sandy Kirkley Clinical Outcome Research Grant
The late Dr. Sandy Kirkley was a passionate advocate for well-conducted randomized controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of interventions in orthopaedic sports medicine. It was her strong contention that the field must "rise to the challenge of designing and implementing clinical trials that provide the same level of evidence in support of treatments as our nonsurgical colleagues demand." It is one of her intellectual legacies, then, that our profession in general and the Society specifically embrace and support outcome research that has the potential to inform evidence-based practice. To honor the memory and spirit of Dr. Kirkley, AOSSM has established a small grant of $20,000 that would provide start-up, "seed," or supplemental funding for an outcome research project or pilot study. One grant will be awarded each year and eligible applicants are not restricted to newer investigators as is the case for the Young Investigator Grants. All applications must be submitted online. Pre-reviews for the Kirkley grant are also available. To have your application pre-reviewed, please complete a submission online by August 15th.
American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Young Investigator Grant
The Young Investigator Grant provides awards in amounts of up to $40,000 aimed at providing "seed money," or start-up funds, for pilot projects. The principal investigator must be an early career orthopaedic surgeon, fellow, or resident with interests in sports medicine research. Any investigative team seeking such a grant must include at least one member of AOSSM in good standing. All applications must be submitted online. Pre-reviews: In an effort to improve the quality and competitiveness of submissions, the AOSSM Research Committee will pre-review and critique applications prior to the final application deadline. This pre-review is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED but not required. It is anticipated that by participating in the pre-review process, the applicant's chances for funding will improve. The pre-review will focus on: 1) significance of proposed research, 2) scientific quality, 3) statistical methods, 4) realistic nature of goals, 5) long term value of results, and 6) pilot data. Use the online submitter for the pre-review. You must complete an online application by August 15th in order to receive a pre-review. Note: Final submission deadline: December 1st before midnight. Please contact Bart Mann bart@aossm.org at the Society office with any questions.
