American Society of Hematology Bridge Grant Program

American Society of Hematology Bridge Grant Program ASH's bridge grant program will provide approximately 30 one-year awards annually, to ASH members who applied for an NIH R01 grant or equivalent but were denied funding due to budget cutbacks. The long-term goal of the award is to help sustain recipients' research and contribute to their retention in hematology investigation. Recipients of the ASH Bridge Grant Award receive a total of $150,000. ASH membership is required at the time of application to the Bridge Grant Program and throughout the award period. There will be two award cycles per year. Research Supported All applicants must submit proposals to conduct research in hematology.

For the purpose of this grant, hematology-related basic research is designed to further our understanding of the blood, bone marrow, and related organs and/or the pathogenesis of blood disorders. The emphasis for grants in this category should be on the discovery of new knowledge in a traditional laboratory setting. Translational Research ASH defines translational research as using knowledge of human biology to develop and test the feasibility of relevant interventions in humans and/or...
