ASH President Emphasizes: A Call to Action for Hematology

ASH President Dr. Belinda R. Avalos emphasizes the Urgency of Advocacy in a Time of Scientific Retrenchment in her post shared on X:

“The President’s FY26 Budget cuts NIH funding by nearly 40%. This would halt critical hematology research progress. ASH urges Congress to reject these cuts and support sustained medical research funding. Read the full statement”

ASH President Emphasizes: A Call to Action for Hematology

In her editorial “Stand Up and Be Counted” published in The Hematologist (2025; 22[3]), Dr. Belinda R. Avalos, President of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), delivers a powerful message: the time for scientific silence is over. Amid sweeping federal cuts to the NIH, CDC, and Medicaid, hematology stands at a critical juncture.

Dr. Avalos underscores that patient care and research in blood diseases are at risk, and calls on the hematology community to engage with policymakers, elevate patient stories, and protect the future of biomedical innovation. ASH continues to mobilize through coalition-building, advocacy campaigns, and its  Fight 4 Hematology Action Hub.
