Description
The ASH Award for Research Careers in Hematology (ARCH) is designed to support independent investigators conducting impactful research in hematology. ARCH succeeds the ASH Bridge Grant program and is now decoupled from the NIH R01 mechanism, offering more direct support to researchers. The program’s primary aim is to make hematology research more accessible, particularly for investigators from at-risk communities, those addressing health disparities, and researchers with limited funding opportunities. Supported research may be basic, translational, patient-oriented, or outcomes-based, and the program maintains rigorous scientific review and programmatic priorities.
