HIP Resident Award
The HIP Resident Award Program supports first- and second-year medical residents from communities underrepresented in hematology across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. As part of the Hematology Inclusion Pathway, the HIP Resident Award provides participants with funds to conduct blood science research under the mentorship of an ASH member. Residents also receive career development mentorship from ASH members, gain valuable hematology knowledge, and benefit from complimentary ASH membership. Recipients also receive a stipend to attend the ASH annual meeting to present their research.
Eligible candidates include those in internal medicine, pathology, pediatric residencies, and residents who have applied to or matched early into a hematology-oncology fellowship program.
