Description
Alpha Phi Foundation’s Heart to Heart Grant supports research and education to lessen the impact of heart disease in women. Established in 1993, the annual program builds on the Foundation’s cardiac-care priority, adopted in 1946, and funds medical researchers and community advocates across North America.
The program has two funding categories. Clinical grants support traditional bench and clinical research, including medical breakthroughs, early screening technology, and clinical trials specific to women’s biology. Community grants support engagement, education, and programming rather than research, including grassroots outreach, CPR training, and survivor support networks. Both categories must focus on women’s heart health and target education and/or care of women.
