The ASH Global Research Award is designed to support future international scientific leaders, increase hematology capacity, and nurture global collaboration. The award supports hematologists between completion of training and the establishment of their independent careers. The award supports the budget for the awarded research for a minimum of 6 months to 3 years, with funds up to $100,000 for projects of one year or less, and $150,000 for projects longer than one year. The award proposals will be categorized by classification of home countries using the UN Human Development Index, and applicants will only compete with those in their same classification.
