The Explorer Pathway Program, offered by the American Society of Hematology (ASH), is a one-year, non-degree career development initiative designed for hematology researchers from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who apply to the ASH Global Research Award (AGRA). The program provides tailored training, mentorship, and resources to address participants’ specific career development needs, focusing on grant writing, research design, and scientific communication. Participants are automatically considered based on their AGRA application, with no separate application required. The program aims to strengthen participants' ability to submit competitive research and career development proposals for future AGRA cycles and other external funding opportunities.
