HIP Graduate Student Award
The HIP Graduate Student Award encourages first-, second-, or third-year graduate students in the United States, Canada, and Mexico to pursue a career in academic hematology. As part of the Hematology Inclusion Pathway, this award is available for students conducting research on blood science-focused projects and gives students time to generate sufficient expertise to be competitive when applying to other awards such as the HIP Fellow Award.
The award provides an annual stipend of $40,000 for a two-year period that can be used for a tuition/salary/stipend of up to 70% of the award's value, research, training-related expenses (including health insurance), and travel to the ASH annual meeting.
