The American Society of Hematology (ASH) offers the HIP Graduate Student Award through its Hematology Inclusion Pathway to encourage careers in academic hematology. It supports doctoral students undertaking hematology-focused projects, providing research and training time to build expertise and prepare for subsequent opportunities, such as the HIP Fellow Award.
The program supports research focused on a hematologic condition or biological process. Encouraged approaches include basic, translational, patient-oriented clinical, and outcomes-based research. Alongside project support, the two-year award provides resources for training and participation in the ASH annual meeting, where recipients present their research.
