Hematology Inclusion Pathway

HIP Fellow Award

The HIP Fellow Award, part of the Hematology Inclusion Pathway, encourages early-career researchers from communities underrepresented in hematology in the United States and Canada to pursue a career in academic hematology and provides salary support and funding to support hematology-focused research projects. The funds give fellows in training more time to generate sufficient expertise to be competitive when applying for other awards, such as the ASH-Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program, which targets applicants with more extensive research experience and preliminary data.
