We aim to fill the acknowledged need for basic, translation, and interdisciplinary research training in transfusion medicine. The program strengths are identified with the Principal Investigator/ Program Director; the organization of the training plan as a small-scale program emphasizing high-quality candidates and research projects; the involvement of senior faculty with strong scientific, funding, and training records; and the provision of specific mechanisms for educating fellow and externally evaluating the training program. To further underscore the program's commitment to providing direct personal effort in training post-doctoral research" fellows, the faculty mentors have been limited to only those with significant funding and proven track records in training early-career investigators. The Program was initially funded in 2004 and thus far, 2 individuals have completed the two-year program, one individual is in his second year,! .and one.fellow started her first year in July 2007 with planned completion after renewal, if funded, in 2009. To date, our T32 fellows have been highly successful as evidenced by abstract presentations, manuscript publications, grant applications, and Steering Committee review. The Program Director greatly appreciates the funding of this important program and the time and effort volunteered by the reviewers in summarizing and supporting this application.
