SWG Grants
As part of our commitment to being the leading force in hematology, EHA provides financial support to small research projects initiated by our Specialized Working Groups (SWGs).
Every year, we award grants to projects that will:
- Help us build a collaborative network
- Increase engagement within SWGs
What an SWG Grant can cover
SWG Grants can cover costs related to:
- Data management
- Data analysis
- Sample collections
- Storage
They cannot be used to:
- Support fellowships
- Pay individual salaries
- Purchase substantial equipment
Eligibility
Non-interventional studies, like retrospective studies or prospective data collection, are eligible for support.
Applications for basic research projects are also eligible. In these cases, we favor those that:
- Take advantage of the collaborative nature of the SWG network
- Encourage the mutual exchange of expertise
To increase diversity and support inclusion within our SWG community, we encourage proposals that involve:
- Junior members
- Partners from underrepresented countries
In all cases, the principal investigator(s) (PIs) in the application must be both an:
- EHA member
- Active member of an SWG
Selection
Winning grant applications are selected by the SWG Committee.
In making its decision, the committee considers:
- The importance of the topic for further research
- Other sources of support that are already available for the proposal
- The applicant’s explanation of the budget needs
- General comments on the application
Next call
We expect to open the next call for grant applications in late 2025.
