Boldly Standing Up for Science with Your Support.

When policy changes and proposed budget cuts put scientific research at risk, your support of the ASH Foundation helped the field of hematology remain vibrant and rewarding. The 2025 ASH Annual Report shows how donor contributions bolstered research awards, advanced education and training initiatives, and ensured that breakthroughs in blood disease care continue.

“The year was one of ASH’s most daunting, yet one of its finest.” — Belinda R. Avalos, MD, 2025 ASH President

Your donations to the ASH Foundation mean vital scientific research can continue, careers in hematology can flourish, and patients with blood diseases and disorders will enjoy the benefits of breakthroughs and further advances in treatments. Thank you for helping to drive positive change in hematology.

On a medical mission to rural Cambodia, ASH President Dr. Robert Negrin met Heng, a young woman with leukemia whose fate was shaped less by medicine than by where she happened to be born. While he raised funds to support her treatment and connect her with care in Bangkok, none of his efforts could ultimately help Heng overcome the brutal unfairness of the “lottery of birth.”

In his President’s Column, Dr. Negrin reflects on his friendship with Heng and her family, the countless patients who tragically never receive treatment, and how ASH’s global programs, from training hematologists to building transplant capacity and expanding newborn screening, are concrete ways our community is pushing back against these inequities.

Last chance to apply for the new ASH Award for Research Careers in Hematology (ARCH).

The successor to the ASH Bridge Grant, ARCH provides 150,000 dollars over one to three years to support independent investigators conducting basic, translational, clinical, or outcomes based research in hematology. Expanded eligibility and the removal of the NIH R01 application requirement open the award to eligible ASH members based in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico with 13 or more years of research experience.

By supporting research careers, ARCH helps sustain discoveries that advance the care of patients with blood disorders.

Applications are due by March 31, 2026!

🚶 Come with ASH to Capitol Hill 🏛️

ASH members met with 39 congressional offices to advocate for strong federal support for hematology research, public health programs, and patient care.

With FY2027 funding discussions underway, they urged Congress to provide at least $51.3 billion for NIH because sustained investment drives discoveries, improves treatments, and saves lives.

They shared patient stories, research breakthroughs, and real world impact directly with lawmakers, showing that federal funding is not abstract. It's how we move hematology forward.

Having sickle cell trait doesn’t mean you can’t be an athlete. But like any athlete, it’s important to understand risk during training.

With normal precautions, it’s considered safe for people with sickle cell trait to exercise and play sports; however, in extreme conditions, these individuals can experience rare muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), which can be life threatening. All athletes can decrease their risk of exercise-related injury by ensuring proper water intake and rest breaks.

What if exploring genomic and clinical data in hematologic disorders could be faster, clearer, and more actionable?

The ASH HematOmics Program (ASHOP), is a genomic data visualization tool built to help researchers do just that.

In the upcoming Precision Hematology webinar, Xin Zhou, PhD, and Charles Mullighan, MD, of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital will demonstrate the platform and answer audience questions.
