HIP Graduate Student Abstract Achievement Award (Formerly known as Minority Graduate Student Abstract Achievement Award) Grant

The HIP Graduate Student Abstract Achievement Award, part of the Hematology Inclusion Pathway, supports doctoral students submitting abstracts for the ASH annual meeting. Recipients receive a $1,500 stipend and online journal subscriptions. Eligible students must be enrolled in a PhD program, conduct hematology-related research, and submit an accepted abstract. This award encourages ongoing engagement with ASH, allowing recipients to apply for future awards as long as they remain eligible.

NOTE: Abstracts must be submitted by the LOI deadline in early August, and the deadline to submit a HIP Graduate Student Abstract Achievement Award application is August 15.
The HIP Graduate Student Abstract Achievement Award is part of the Hematology Inclusion Pathway (HIP). The HIP Graduate Student Abstract Achievement Award provides a stipend for doctoral students who have submitted an abstract for the ASH annual meeting. At the annual meeting, students have the opportunity to hear the latest advances in hematology-related research, and interact with ASH leadership, senior researchers, physicians, scientists, and students.
Students who are selected for the HIP Graduate Student Abstract Achievement Award will already be conducting hematology-related research and must submit an abstract to the ASH annual meeting that is accepted for oral or poster presentation. Students will be encouraged to remain involved with ASH throughout graduate school, in an effort to keep them engaged in the study of hematology. Recipients are eligible to apply for additional HIP Graduate Student Abstract Achievement Awards in subsequent years, as long as they are still eligible.
Participants will receive a stipend of $1,500 and complimentary online subscriptions to Blood, the Journal of the American Society of Hematology, as well as The Hematologist, the Society's newsletter, during all of their remaining graduate school years.
