SSC Subcommittee Co-chair Application

The Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC) is a permanent committee of the ISTH and the scientific working arm that handles the ongoing, scientific work of the Society. The SSC is comprised of 21 Subcommittees and one working group addressing a specific problem related to  thrombosis, disorders of hemostasis and their underlying vascular biology.

Each Subcommittee is led by a Chair and up to 6 Co-Chairs who have significant expertise in the Subcommittee's area of interest. The Chair and Co-Chairs are responsible for overseeing the Subcommittee's projects on standardization, nomenclature and guidance. In addition to these 7 Subcommittee members, many other experts contribute to the projects and work of each Subcommittee.

Each year, following the annual ISTH Congress, some Co-Chairs rotate off each Subcommittee, giving new experts an opportunity to serve on a Subcommittee. Kindly complete the form below to express interest in participating on a Subcommittee. Please note, there are a limited number of positions available and there is no guarantee of selection for a position.

Please note: Each SSC co-chair will complete two consecutive two-year terms, for a total of four years.

According to the SSC Rules and Guidelines, an ISTH member may only serve on one SSC Subcommittee at a time.
