EHA - José Carreras Foundation Young Investigator Fellowship
The EHA - José Carreras Foundation Young Investigator Fellowship Program provides seed funds to promising young investigators to encourage and promote quality research in hematology. The fellowship is sponsored through the EHA via unrestricted educational grants from the three European José Carreras Foundations: José Carreras International Leukemia Foundation, Fondation José Carreras pour la lutte contre la leucèmie, Genève and Deutsche José Carreras Leukämie Stiftung e.V.

EHA Research Fellowships
The EHA research fellowships are aimed at promoting hematological research and target young basic and clinical researchers both in the field of malignant and non-malignant hematology. The research fellowships are fully sponsored by the European Hematology Association and designed to support salary, supplies, equipment and travel necessary for the pursuit of the recipient's research project.

EHA Clinical Research Grants
These grants have been established to promote clinical research in patients with hematological diseases, e.g. to support logistics of translational research, phase I, II or III clinical trials, support of research nurses, data-managers, etc. They are not intented for primarily laboratory research. The grants will provide financial support for salaries, supplies, equipment and travel necessary for the project.
