ASH Research Programs and Awards

As a demonstration of its commitment to protecting the field and those who have dedicated their careers to the specialty, ASH has established the Bridge Grant to help preserve the careers of its talented member scientists whose vital research will not be accomplished due to across-the-board cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget.

The ASH Clinical Research Training Institute (CRTI) is a unique year-long education and mentoring program for hematology and hematology/oncology fellows-in-training, as well as junior faculty physicians at academic medical centers. The goal of ASH’s Clinical Research Training Institute is to prepare hematologists for careers in patient-oriented clinical research.

The Clinical Research Training Institute in Latin America is intended for fellows and early to mid-career hematology faculty working in Latin American countries who are engaged in clinical research and training.

The ASH Global Research Award was designed to support future international scientific leaders, increase hematology capacity, and nurture global collaboration. The award is intended to support hematologists between completion of training and the establishment of their independent careers.

The ASH Research Training Award for Fellows (RTAF) is designed to encourage junior researchers in hematology, hematology/oncology, and other hematology-related training programs to pursue a career in academic hematology.

ASH-EHA Translational Research Training in Hematology is a unique, year-long training and mentoring program focused on helping junior researchers build successful careers in hematologic translational research.

The Physician-Scientist Career Development Award immerses medical students between their first and second or second and third years of school in a one-year, full-time research experience in hematology.

The HONORS (Hematology Opportunities for the Next Generation of Research Scientists) Award is intended for medical students and residents in the United States, Canada, or Mexico with an interest in hematology research. The award will provide the recipient with a $5,000 stipend to conduct either a short hematological research project for a maximum of three months, or a long hematological research project between three and 12 months.

The ASH Hematology Inclusion Pathway (HIP) Medical Student Award provides first-, second-, or third-year medical students in the US, Canada, and Mexico with a stipend to conduct blood science research under the mentorship of an ASH member. Medical students also receive career development mentorship from an ASH member, gain valuable hematology knowledge, and benefit from complimentary ASH membership. Recipients of this award will also receive a stipend to attend the ASH annual meeting to present their research

The HIP Resident Award Program supports first- and second-year medical residents 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 stipend to attend the ASH annual meeting to present their research.

Support for trainees with high-scoring annual meeting abstracts.
