In this special podcast, Dr. Gary Gilliland from Fred Hutch and Drs. Ross Levine and Omar Abdel-Wahab from Memorial Sloan Kettering, talk about the significance of the ASH Scholar Award in their careers. This podcast, which follows the theme of “Three Generations of Scholar Award Recipients,” celebrates 30 years of the ASH Scholar Awards designed to support hematologists who have chosen a career in research by providing partial salary or other support during the critical period required for completion of training and achievement of status as an independent investigator. Dr. Gilliland was a Scholar Award recipient in 1991, Dr. Levine received his award in 2006, and Dr. Abdel-Wahab won twice – in 2011 as a fellow and in 2014 as basic/translational junior faculty.
