Acquire new skills and knowledge to address priority hematology issues through the 2015 ASH Visitor Training Program.

The ASH Visitor Training Program (VTP) is an opportunity for talented hematologists, scientists, and/or laboratory staff from developing countries to gain up to 12 weeks of specialized clinical and/or laboratory experience at a host institution under the mentorship of an ASH member.

VTP participants acquire the skills and knowledge needed to address priority hematology issues at their home institutions through targeted training in the clinics and laboratories of their host institution. Following the program, VTP participants return to their home institutions to implement the training they have received. Each training program is developed with the needs and capabilities of the home institution in mind. Successful candidates receive an award that covers roundtrip travel to and from the training site, accommodation for the duration of the training, and daily living expenses.

Candidates must submit a completed application by April 10, 2015. In 2015, all applications must be submitted through the ASH online awards processing portal. Applications not submitted through this portal will not be accepted. A full list of eligibility requirements and detailed information about the application process are available on the ASH website.
