ASH increased its commitment to funding critical hematology research this year by $9 million to establish new awards and fund an additional 600+ awards to make up for the gaps in opportunity resulting from federal funding cuts, bringing ASH’s total investment to more than $20 million in 2025-2026. It’s going to take your help to sustain that momentum beyond this first year. Donate to the ASH Foundation to help protect the future of hematology research when it’s needed most.
