HIP Resident Award
The HIP Resident Award Program supports first- and second-year medical residents from a workforce that reflects the patient population it serves in hematology across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. As part of the Hematology Inclusion Pathway, the HIP Resident Award provides participants with funds to conduct blood science research under the mentorship of an ASH member. Residents also receive career development mentorship from ASH members, gain valuable hematology knowledge, and benefit from complimentary ASH membership. Recipients also receive a honorarium to attend the ASH annual meeting to present their research.
Eligible candidates include those in internal medicine, pathology, pediatric residencies, and residents who have applied to or matched early into a hematology-oncology fellowship program.

An Unprecedented Investment
In response to ongoing threats to federal funding of hematology research and resources, since 2025 ASH has more than doubled its level of support for awards, career development opportunities, and mentorship programs to nearly $50 million, supporting 3,500+ awards. This investment includes an additional $25 million that goes far above and beyond ASH’s traditional funding levels as part of the #Fight4Hematology campaign..
