Hematology Inclusion Pathway (HIP)

The Hematology Inclusion Pathway (HIP) is a longitudinal, cohort-style portfolio of awards and career-development programs spanning roughly 13 years that supports individuals from medical students through mid-career professionals in hematology. HIP offers multiple award tracks—including medical student, resident, graduate student, fellow, and faculty development awards—providing research honoraria, mentor matching, and sustained career development. The program aims to expand inclusion and increase retention in the field of hematology by encouraging recipients to progress through successive awards and leadership opportunities. HIP is administered by the American Society of Hematology (ASH).

Research honorariums, mentor matching (research and career development mentors), longitudinal career-development awards and progression opportunities, mentorship and leadership engagement within ASH.

The pathway includes awards for medical students, residents, graduate students (including doctoral students), fellows, and mid-career medical faculty; some award tracks offer mentor matching and are for applicants interested in conducting hematology-focused research. Specific eligibility varies by individual HIP award.

Applicants apply to individual HIP award tracks; the site directs applicants to specific award pages for application information and provides a contact email for questions.
