The National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) has extended the deadline for receipt of letters of intent for the Judith Graham Pool (JGP) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to Monday, December 20, 2010.

 

This fellowship program is named in honor of Dr. Judith Graham Pool, who in 1965 discovered a method of extracting clotting factor from human plasma to formulate cryoprecipitate. The program’s emphasis is on promoting basic science and pre-clinical research in bleeding disorders. Since 1972 NHF has been awarding fellowships and supporting researchers through the JGP program.

 

NHF also announces that the deadline for receipt of letters of intent for the Career Development Award (CDA) is Friday, January 7, 2011.

 

The CDA program is open to research grant proposals from established investigators, preferably at the assistant professor level or above, who have demonstrated a commitment to bleeding disorders research. NHF encourages projects that will promote the development of novel treatments or advance the field of bleeding disorders research.
