Recognizing donors to the ASCI’s 2021–2022 annual appeal

Since November, as part of our 2021–2022 annual appeal, we have been raising funds to advance ASCI programs serving early-career physician-scientists.

The appeal is officially complete – thank you for making it a success! Kim Rathmell, John Hawley, and The Sawyers Family Fund issued challenges and you, our members, met and exceeded them, raising $53,825 from 122 members, many of you giving for the first time.

The ASCI’s program initiatives are designed to help reduce attrition on the physician-scientist career path by providing our early-career colleagues with resources and networking uniquely available through our community. By fostering connections across all physician-scientist career stages and disciplines, we are able to amplify the impact of our programs on early-career physician-scientists.

As Councilor Anna Greka wrote as part of this appeal:

“Our ASCI colleagues have served as our trusted guides on the physician-scientist career path. I am certain many of you feel the same way. I am convinced that the “tap on the shoulder” that I received as a 2014 Young Physician-Scientist Awardee was critically important at a pivotal time in my career.”

We agree that the ASCI community itself plays a critical role in supporting those just starting on the physician-scientist career path. We are encouraged by what we have been able to accomplish with your support thus far and are excited about the year ahead.

Thank you to the donors listed below for their generosity in supporting the next generation of physician-scientists and for believing in the promise of our early-career colleagues.

Sincerely,

Hossein Ardehali, MD, PhD
2021-2022 President
The American Society for Clinical Investigation
