Fred Goldman, M.D., and Hilary Haines, M.D., Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, have been awarded a seed grant from the Sickle Cell Foundation of Birmingham to fund their project titled, “Barriers to Transplant in Sickle Cell Disease: A Survey of Patients and Families at Children’s of Alabama.” The grant will provide seed money to assist them in studying the barriers that contribute to why sickle cell patients at Children's of Alabama are not getting bone marrow transplants at the same rate as the rest of the country. 

Congratulations Drs. Goldman and Haines!
