Specialized Working Group Grants
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
Our grants are designed to help with costs such as:
- 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 about ‘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 takes into account:
- 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.
