Description
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) offers the HIP Resident Award through its Hematology Inclusion Pathway to support residents pursuing blood science research. Participants conduct a project with an ASH-member research mentor, receive separate career-development mentorship, and gain hematology knowledge through research and participation in the ASH annual meeting. Complimentary ASH membership continues throughout residency.
The program encourages basic, translational, patient-oriented clinical, and outcomes-based research. Eligible subject areas include adult hematology, pediatric hematology/oncology, hematopathology, and blood banking/transfusion medicine. Applicants without a research mentor can seek matching with an investigator and a preestablished project through the HIP Mentor Matching Program, based on their interests and project availability.
