Description
This program, administered by Health Resources in Action (HRiA), funds innovative basic and translational scientific research aimed at the prevention of coronary heart disease or circulatory failure, and the improvement of care for affected patients. The funder’s directive is to support research at smaller and mid-sized institutions, specifically excluding major universities and medical complexes with significant fundraising capacity. The program does not fund clinical studies.
Research projects should focus on advancing understanding, prevention, or treatment of coronary heart disease or circulatory failure. Emphasis is placed on scientific merit, innovation, and the potential for meaningful impact in the field.
