Om priset går att läsa på EHA:s hemsida;

José Carreras, who himself underwent a transplant procedure in Seattle, USA, in 1988, was instrumental in setting up the José Carreras Foundation in Barcelona. The Foundation has established a program of scholarships for scientists working in the field. He has also personally supported many other clinical and basic aspects of haematopetic stem cell transplant activity on both sides of the Atlantic.

The José Carreras Award was established by EHA in order to honor leading figures in hematological research and is presented each year to an established and active investigator who has made an important contribution to hematology. This honor has been bestowed by the EHA board on internationally recognized specialists for their invaluable contribution to the field of hematology.
