The HTRS Mid-Career Research Award (MCRA) Program provides financial support for mid-career investigators pursuing clinical, translational, or basic science research projects in hemostasis and/or thrombosis. Applicants must be working in the United States or Canada for the duration of the proposed project.  The project funded by this program will run for two years: November 2021 - October 2023.  

The goals of the MCRA Program are to:

  1. Advance the science underlying the clinical management of hemostasis and thrombosis by supporting investigator-initiated research to ultimately improve the health and well-being of people living with blood disorders
  2. Provide financial support for talented mid-career physician-scientists to enable them to transition from mentored research to full research independence
  3. Combat the shortage of skilled academic researchers in benign hematology by supporting mid-career physician-scientists in the U.S. and Canada at a critical juncture in their academic research careers. Upon the completion of a project funded by the MCRA Program, the recipient should be ready to apply for a large-scale grant to expand their research in hemostasis and/or thrombosis such as an NIH R01, NIH R34, or the equivalent from another agency such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)

Eligible investigators must be:

  • Mid-career physician-scientists (MD, MD/PhD, or DO)  

OR

  • Mid-career PhD researchers proposing collaborative projects with at least one other eligible mid-career physician-scientist

OR

  • NEW: PhD researchers who have not yet received their first R01-level funding
