ASH Announces Recipients
of Bridge Grants to Help
Sustain Blood Disease
Research
ASH announced the names of nine
investigators who have received the
latest round of ASH Bridge Grants
to sustain their promising research
programs that scored well but could
not be supported by the National Institutes of Health as a result of limited
funding. Since 2013, ASH has provided
approximately 20 to 30 one-year
awards annually to ASH members who
applied for an NIH R01 grant or equivalent but were denied funding due to
budget cutbacks. The long-term goal of
the award is to help sustain recipients’ research and contribute to their
retention in hematology investigation.
Recipients of the ASH Bridge Grant
Award receive a total of $150,000.
