Committee Mandate

The Hematology Inclusion Pathway (HIP) Programs Subcommittee (a subcommittee of the Committee on Advancing Excellence and Population Health) oversees all aspects of the HIP Programs portfolio including awards administration, evaluation (including review of awardee progress), program refinements, mentoring, proposal development, and marketing and outreach. The subcommittee oversees the HIP Programs Study Section and subcommittee members are expected, but not required, to participate in at least one study section during their term.

The HIP Programs Subcommittee also manages the Hematology Inclusion Pathway Programs Presentations and Reception event and sponsors the HIP Programs Luncheon – both held during the ASH annual meeting – to provide pathway hematologists and trainees with networking opportunities.

The membership of the HIP Programs Subcommittee includes:

• Chair
• Vice Chair
• At least 8 additional members, one of whom holds a PhD

The chair and vice chair of the HIP Programs Study Section serve as ad hoc, non-voting members of the HIP Programs Subcommittee.

The chair, vice chair, and members of the HIP Programs Subcommittee serve staggered four-year terms (unless otherwise indicated) with the option for an additional term. Members are expected to participate in virtual meetings and communicate via email, as necessary.

The chair of the HIP Programs Subcommittee serves as a liaison member of the Committee on Advancing Excellence and Population Health and is expected to attend the meetings of that committee.
