The ASH-AMFDP Award provides four years of research support, including an annual stipend of up to $75,000 and an annual grant of $30,000 toward the support of research activities. Applicants to the ASH-AMFDP program are responsible for identifying a mentor at their institutions to work with them and give them research and career guidance. ASH-AMFDP Scholars are also assigned a National Advisory Committee mentor to follow their progress within the program and give them guidance. Recipients will be invited to the AMFDP annual meeting each year with travel expenses covered by the grant. The recipient's mentor is expected to attend the meeting for the first two years of the grant; travel costs are reimbursed by the AMFDP.
The recipients of the ASH-AMFDP award will receive all the benefits that come with the AMFDP award as well as complimentary ASH membership, which includes a subscription to the ASH journal, Blood. The Scholar will also have the opportunity to attend the ASH annual meeting for the four years of the award. The costs of economy travel, four-night hotel stay, and $100 per day for meals will be covered by ASH.
