The ISTH Training Fellowship Program (ISTH-TF Program) is intended to provide support for short-term training opportunities for early career professionals (clinical or basic research) in the field, who wish to study at host institutes known for their expertise in thrombosis and hemostasis. The program aims to promote knowledge and expertise in one or all of the areas of medical/clinical care, laboratory methods or basic or clinical research in this field. The ISTH wishes to provide financial support to short term collaborative projects, to enhance knowledge of a new clinical subspecialty or to learn a new laboratory or research technique. Funds will be designated for Fellowships in each of the following areas: bleeding disorders, clotting disorders, diagnostics and basic research.
The TF grants will provide fellows with financial support for travel, accommodation and living expenses for a fellowship period of up to two (2) months. It is intended for clinicians and scientists at an early stage in their career (within 10 years of completion of PhD or completion of clinical subspecialty training).
Applicants for the ISTH-TF Program must be residents of a high-income country and members of ISTH at the time of submitting their application and retain membership status during the period of the fellowship program. Residents of developing countries should apply for the Reach-the-World fellowship. Applicants must disclose any grants, fellowships or other outside funding obtained or sought by applicant for this training. No other funding may be used concurrently but could be used consecutively with approval in advance.
ISTH has partnered with the International Network of Venous Thromboembolism Clinical Research Networks (INVENT) to offer a joint fellowship through the Training Fellowship program. The ISTH-INVENT Fellow’s focus will be conducting clinical research trials and building relationships to promote international collaborations. ISTH-INVENT fellows must complete their fellowship in an INVENT network member country.
