An Unprecedented Investment
In response to ongoing threats to federal funding of hematology research and resources, since 2025 ASH has more than doubled its level of support for awards, career development opportunities, and mentorship programs to nearly $50 million, supporting 3,500+ awards. This investment includes an additional $25 million that goes far above and beyond ASH’s traditional funding levels as part of the #Fight4Hematology campaign..
