EHA Research Mobility Grants are designed to support the professional development of young scientists by enabling mobility and facilitating a visit to a research group in another institute.  

Both institutes should have complementary expertise, as this visit is intended to promote collaboration between the institutes.  

The grants: 

  • Support basic and translational early-career researchers in hematology  
  • Last for up to three months 
  • Can provide a total award of up to €7,500 within Europe and €10,000 outside of Europe 

Eligibility 

You’re eligible if:  

  • You’re an EHA member 
  • The home and host institutes are academic research centers or proven equivalents 
  • The home and host institutes are in different countries and at least one of them is in Europe 
  • You have the support of an academic department and institute 
  • Your application relates to basic and translational lab-based research in hematology, as purely clinical research projects, projects in health economics, and other non-lab-based research are ineligible 

In addition, at least one of the following statements must apply: 

  • You are a PhD student 
  • You are within one year of PhD graduation  
  • You are an MD in training (with residency and within one year of hematology accreditation), with a keen interest in pursuing a career in research  

If you received your qualifications outside the stated timeframe, please check our policy on life events and eligibility. If you have other questions about eligibility, please send us an email [email EHA-Grants@ecorys.com] before you apply.
