Hemophilia is the best known of the inherited bleeding disorders (BD). This is a rare condition that causes disproportionate bleeding, often into joints and vital organs. Factor replacement, injecting recombinant or plasma-based clotting factor products directly into the vein, became commonplace to control the disorder in the 1990s and 2000s. Prophylaxis, or injecting replacement factor every few days into people with hemophilia (PWH), has revolutionized patients' lives. In the last few years, other advances in new therapies have entered this space, such as non-factor replacement therapies and gene therapy. With many more research advances on the horizon, the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) initiated a State of the Science Research Summit in 2020. This event was attended by over 880 interested parties to help design an agenda of research priorities for inherited BDs for the next decade, based on community consultations. NHF formed multiple Working Groups (WG), each exploring a theme resulting from the community consultations, and presenting their results at the Summit. Led by 2 hematologists who manage and treat PWH daily, the 21-community member WG1 assigned to hemophilia A and B divided into 7 subgroups to identify and organize research priorities for different topic areas. The outcomes focused on prioritizing patients' needs, technological advances, and research in the areas of greatest potential for PWH and those who care for them. The results are a roadmap for the future execution of a research plan that truly serves the community.
