Description
This program funds research projects focused on the prevention of coronary heart disease or circulatory failure and improving patient care in these areas. The emphasis is on basic and translational science, not clinical studies. The awards are intended to benefit smaller and mid-sized institutions, as per the vision of Harold S. Geneen, and specifically exclude major universities or large medical complexes with significant fundraising infrastructure. The administrative process is managed by Health Resources in Action (HRiA).
