Description
The award provides critical support for researchers in hematology at the early stages of their independent careers, easing the transition from mentored training to research independence. Since 1985, it has funded hundreds of promising investigators, many of whom have gone on to significant achievements and leadership roles in hematology. Funding is available for basic, translational, clinical, or outcomes-based research relevant to hematology. The program is a flagship initiative of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) to foster the next generation of leaders in the field.
