New Horizons Leadership Fund

A Commitment to Excellence and Advancement in the Field of Bioinformatics
The Association for Pathology Informatics (API) serves the bioinformatics community in the promotion and development of data standards for pathology research and patient care.

In just five years since its inception, API has served to advance the field of pathology informatics through research, educational initiatives, scientific meetings, and through electronic and printed communications. API continues at the forefront of bioinformatics advances in its efforts to develop standards for the analysis, report, transfer, and storage of medical and research data and images.

The Association for Pathology Informatics Laboratory Digital Imaging Project (LDIP) was initiated in 2004 as a forum for collaboration between the academic, research, and biotech communities for the development of industry standards for pathology image and data interchange to improve the quality of research in pathology and patient care.

Rapid advancements in computer technologies and digital imaging have created exciting new opportunities for data synthesis and storage systems. It is our mission as an Association to provide our constituents with challenging educational and professional career development initiatives focused on new advances in medical/research data and imaging analysis, and its ultimate influence on research applications, disease prevention and health care.

A Commitment to Excellence in Leadership
We are pleased to launch the API New Horizons Leadership Fund Campaign in 2006. Donations will be used to support the Association’s scientific and educational initiatives. The membership of API represents the very best in pathology informatics, with a collective distinguished history of excellence in science and leadership in the bioinformatics community. As a member of the Association, your support is critical in providing both the inspiration and financial resources to fund future initiatives of API.

Join with your distinguished colleagues as a Charter Benefactor. API is a Division of the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP). ASIP is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Your tax-deductible donation to the API New Horizons Leadership Fund can be used to fund the following:

Provide trainee travel funds for API members
Sponsor merit awards and fellowships
Sponsor future educational and career development initiatives
Sponsor workshops or symposia at the APIII, LabInfoTech Summit, or ASIP annual meeting at Experimental Biology
Fund an endowment for a named lecture at informatics meetings
Fund an endowment for a named travel award(s)
