Description
The Harold S. Geneen Charitable Trust Awards Program for Coronary Heart Disease Research supports innovative basic and translational research aimed at preventing coronary heart disease or circulatory failure, or improving care for patients with these conditions. The program is specifically designed for smaller and mid-sized institutions, not major universities or large medical complexes, and is managed by Health Resources in Action (HRiA). Clinical studies are not eligible. The award seeks to foster a more direct relationship with grant recipients and to encourage junior faculty participation.
