CDP Achievement Awards 2021
The CDP Achievement Awards recognize awardees who are on a clear trajectory to become leaders in blood cancer research and/or treatment.
The Career Development Program (CDP) grants support researchers early and at different stages of their career. To acknowledge the most impressive contributions, in we instituted the CDP Achievement Awards to recognize awardees in each subcategory – Scholar or Scholar in Clinical Research, Special Fellow, and Fellow – who have the most significant publication(s) and are on a clear trajectory to become leaders in blood cancer research and/or treatment.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the winners of the third annual CDP Achievement Awards received their awards via mail, but we are looking forward to congratulating them in person as soon as possible!
