Organizational Profile
Incorporated as a nonprofit research society in 1992, HTRS comprises an international membership of more than 300 pediatric and adult physicians, nurses, and industry professionals, including many of the directors of hemostasis and thrombosis treatment centers in the United States and Canada. HTRS works in collaboration with a variety of sister organizations to further the impact of research and outreach programs in hemostasis and thrombosis, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the NIH-NHLBI, the North American Specialized Coagulation Laboratory Association (NASCOLA), the Venous Disease Coalition (VDC) and others.
HTRS enthusiastically supports the physician-scientist community with the ongoing accumulation of data and reporting on clinical coagulation. The Society hosts an annual Scientific Symposium and publishes a quarterly newsletter featuring scientific updates of interest to the hemostasis disorders research community.
In addition, HTRS supports Registries of patients with hemorrhagic and thrombotic disorders, and stimulates the development of research proposals based on this data.
