The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) is pleased to announce that its 2026 grant cycle is now open, and Letters of Intent (LOIs) are currently being accepted.

Each year, we build on what came before, and 2025 was no exception. We raised the bar, welcomed new members, expanded our reach, and continued to strengthen HTRS as the premier North American society in hemostasis and thrombosis.

In 2026, we carry that momentum forward through our events, grants and awards, and many programs that define and elevate the HTRS community.

ISTH provides multiple award and grant opportunities designed to support and advance research in thrombosis and hemostasis. Current funding opportunities include the following: Fundamental Research Career Development Awards, Fundamental Research Workshop Grants, Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC) Grants.

The Clinical Thrombosis Program at Hamilton Health Sciences and McMaster University is seeking applicants for the Dr Jack Hirsh Research Fellowship, a research fellow position based at the David Braley Cardiac Vascular and Stroke Research Institute. The fellowship is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026. Application deadline: January 31, 2026.

As we welcome the new year, we want to take a moment to reflect on and celebrate the close of our Season of Giving.

At SEARCH (Students Exploring Academic Research Careers in Hematology), mentorship is at the heart of discovery. Every year, students connect with leading hematologists and biomedical researchers who generously share their time, guidance, and expertise.

Meet Brittney Spruill — a 2024 SEARCH participant whose experience transformed her path in medicine.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2026 HTRS Student Research Awards (SRAs).

Together, we can keep building a strong, supportive community—one that turns today’s trainees into tomorrow’s leaders. Donate today and open new doors to discover
