Description
This program supports innovative basic and translational research focused on the prevention of coronary heart disease or circulatory failure, with the goal of improving patient care in these areas. Managed by Health Resources in Action (HRiA) for the Harold S. Geneen Charitable Trust, the program is specifically targeted at smaller and mid-sized academic medical institutions, as per the founder’s intent, and does not fund clinical studies. The award is designed to help junior and mid-career investigators at invited institutions advance impactful cardiovascular research that may not otherwise be supported by major funding sources.
