Description
The HIP Fellow Award is administered by the American Society of Hematology (ASH) through its Hematology Inclusion Pathway. It supports early-career researchers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico pursuing careers in academic hematology. Salary support and research funding give fellows protected time for clinical or laboratory-based blood science projects.
The program helps participants develop research skills, generate preliminary data, and present their findings at the ASH Annual Meeting. It is intended to build experience and competitiveness for subsequent funding, including the ASH Scholar Award. Encouraged research includes basic, translational, patient-oriented clinical, and outcomes-based research. Applicants must explain how they advance the goals of the Hematology Inclusion Pathway.
