Description
The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), with support from Natera and funding through the ISHLT Foundation, offers this grant for early-career researchers and mentored trainees. It supports research into the novel clinical implications or utility of non-invasive molecular and/or genetic testing for patients with advanced organ failure or receiving post-transplant care.
The program encourages studies involving pre-transplant, post-transplant, and mechanical circulatory support patient populations. Its focus is the clinical relevance of testing to patient care. Funding supports the personnel and research resources needed to conduct these studies, along with publication costs and travel for abstract presentations. Expert reviewers assess the proposed study’s aims, significance, innovation, approach, data feasibility, and prior work.
