ASH invites all interested meeting attendees to this event highlighting training and research opportunities for minorities underrepresented in hematology. The reception will include poster presentations by students participating in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Minority Research Supplement, a series of oral research presentations by the 2008 Minority Medical Student Award Program participants, and an announcement about the ASH-AMFDP Award (a partnership between ASH and the Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). Representatives from the National Institutes of Health will also be in attendance to provide information about their training and research offerings. The event will conclude with a buffet dinner and networking session. Please join us to hear the impressive research presentations and learn more about these exciting opportunities.
