Description
The British Heart Foundation's Infrastructure Grants are designed to strengthen the UK’s cardiovascular research environment by funding essential infrastructure at academic institutions. These grants enable senior cardiovascular scientists to support collaborative research across multiple groups, providing resources that individual project or programme grants would not typically cover. Funding can be used for major equipment purchases or building refurbishments that benefit several research teams, thereby boosting institutional research capacity and impact in cardiovascular science.
