Future Position in the Division of Blood Diseases and Resources
The Division of Blood Diseases and Resources (DBDR) supports research on the causes, prevention, and treatment of nonmalignant blood diseases, including anemias, sickle cell disease, and thalassemia; premalignant processes such as myelodysplasia and myeloproliferative disorders; hemophilia and other abnormalities of hemostasis and thrombosis; and immune dysfunction. Funding encompasses a broad spectrum of research ranging from basic biology to medical management of blood diseases. The Division has a major responsibility for research to assure the adequacy and safety of the Nation's blood supply. The Division also has a leading role in applying scientific advances in transfusion medicine and stem cell biology to the development of new cell-based therapies to repair and regenerate human tissues and organs.

    The Transfusion Medicine and Cellular Therapeutics Branch supports research and research training in transfusion medicine, blood banking, stem cell biology and disease, hematopoiesis and clinical medicine.   Research focuses on the use, safety, and availability of blood and blood components for transfusion and cellular therapies.  Research areas include transfusion-transmission of infectious diseases, noninfectious complications of transfusion, immunobiology, cell biology and disease, novel cell-based therapies, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and blood product availability.  The Branch develops programs for basic, translational, and clinical research related to normal and abnormal cellular biology and pathology.  The Branch supports the NHLBI Biorepository and a cell therapy resource program. It also collaborates with governmental, private-sector, and international organizations to improve the safety and availability of the global supply of blood and blood components.

Requirements: US Citizenship, MD, PhD, or equivalent doctorate degree in health sciences or related discipline.

Ability to evaluate and analyze broad scientific areas. Effective verbal and written communications skills. 

 

Future Positions in the Division of Prevention and Population Sciences
The Division of Prevention and Population Sciences is going through an exciting period of expansion. The Division supports, conducts, and initiates population-, community-, and clinic-based research on the causes, prevention, and clinical care of cardiovascular diseases. Research includes a broad array of population-based epidemiologic studies; clinical trials of interventions to prevent disease; studies of genetic, behavioral, socio-cultural, and environmental influences on disease risk and outcomes; and studies of the application of prevention and treatment strategies to determine how best to improve the quality of clinical care and public health. Examples of programs we support include the Framingham Heart Study, the Hispanic Community Health Study, the Women’s Health Initiative, the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial, and the HMO-based nationwide Cardiovascular Research Network (CVRN). Among our research growth areas are physical activity, behavior-oriented clinical trials, health services research, and vascular risk prevention beginning in childhood.
