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
  • SWG member

All applications should be communicated internally inside your SWG.

There’s no limit on the number of applications that an SWG can submit.

Selection

Winning grant applications are selected by the SWG Committee.

In making its decision, the committee considers:

• The scientific quality of the project
• The importance of the topic for further research/subsequent projects
• The explanation of the budget needs
• Cooperation/interaction within the SWG or with other SWGs
• Other sources of support that are already available for this project
• The overlap with ongoing/already funded projects
• The inclusion of junior members and/or partners from underrepresented countries
