EHA Research Grants

EHA Research Grants are designed to support the future of hematology by helping talented junior researchers to:

• Conduct basic or translational lab-based research
• Gain valuable research and leadership experience
• Move towards becoming group leaders
• Advance their careers

You’re eligible if:  

• You’re an EHA member 
• Your institute is an academic research center or proven equivalent in Europe 
• You have the support of an academic department and institute 
• Your application relates to basic and translational lab-based research in hematology  

Your application will not be eligible if it relates to: 

• Purely clinical research projects 
• Projects in health economics 
• Other non-lab-based research 

However, it may be eligible if it relates to the translational part of a clinical trial. In this case, it must be both relevant and novel. 

Types of EHA Research Grants

The three types of EHA Research Grant are the:

• EHA Junior Research Grant, which can provide up to €150,000 for three years
• EHA Advanced Research Grant, which can provide up to €240,000 for three years
• EHA Physician Scientist Research Grant, which can provide up to €240,000 for three years

Each one of the three types of EHA Research Grant also has its own specific eligibility criteria. Please make sure you read the eligibility criteria for your grant type before you apply.

Topics-in-Focus Research Grants: If your research focuses on hemoglobinopathies, you will have a competitive advantage in the selection process. Please select the ‘Topics-in-Focus Research Grant’ version of your grant type on your application form.

Extending the reach of our grants: If you are operating in a country less-represented among EHA grantees, you will have a competitive advantage in the selection process. ​You can see a full list of these countries on our page about extending the reach of EHA Research Grants.
