Description
The Edna G. Kynett Memorial Foundation supports cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment through community health, continuing professional education, and research in the Delaware Valley. The Foundation particularly encourages innovative approaches that improve cardiac health among people at higher-than-average risk of heart disease, especially those underserved by the healthcare system. Proposals should emphasize prevention, evidence of efficacy, sustainability, and a significant return on investment.
Community health priorities include physical activity, healthy eating, cardiovascular screening, health literacy, adherence to prescribed care, and connections between community programs and clinical settings. Professional education serves professionals working with high-risk, underserved populations. Research should address cardiovascular prevention, risk factors, and healthcare delivery, particularly for women, children, minorities, and economically disadvantaged populations, using rigorous methods to develop and evaluate community-based interventions.
