In 2004, ASH launched the Minority Medical Student Award Program (MMSAP) as part of the Society's overall Minority Recruitment Initiatives. Each year ASH awards up to 10 medical students from the United States and Canada in their early years of training the opportunity to participate in an eight- to 12-week summer research experience. The following individuals have been selected for the 2006 MMSAP, and the Society congratulates them on their success.
