The Vascular Biology and Hematology [VH] IRG will consider research applications ranging from basic research through clinical studies focused on the circulatory system, both vascular and hematological components. The Vascular Biology study sections are organized around the themes of vascular hemodynamics and hypertension, neural and integrative systems physiology, inflammation and atherosclerosis, and vascular cell and molecular biology.  Hematological study sections consider research applications comprising basic and clinical studies focused on normal and abnormal hematopoiesis, blood cells including red cells, granulocytes, monocytes, leukocytes and their diseases and  mechanisms of hemostasis and thrombosis. Evaluation of single site clinical studies of hematologic disorders will be considered in a separate special emphasis panel as needed.

The following study sections are included within the VH IRG:
