Together, we're helping turn dreams into reality.  

What is the DREAM Award?

The 2022 DREAM Award is offered through the collaboration of HTRS and ATHN and supported by an independent medical educational grant from Takeda.

The DREAM Award is designed to:

  • Advance the care of patients with bleeding and clotting disorders by funding research in the field of hemostasis and/or thrombosis, and
  • Address the shortage of skilled academic physician researchers in non-malignant hematology in the U.S. by providing funding, mentorship, and career development support to early-stage physician-scientists pursuing academic research careers in non-malignant hematology

  • New this year: Applicants must be located at participating ATHN Affiliate institutions to be eligible to apply for a 2022 DREAM Award to fully understand the data and how to access it.
  • Primary mentors must be part of the ATHN Affiliate Network.
  • The award may offer funding of $50,000 USD per recipient for projects lasting up to one year and $100,000 USD per recipient for projects lasting up to two years
