Description
The ISHLT Research Fellowship Grant, supported by the ISHLT Foundation, funds an innovative research project led by a trainee. Its scope includes advanced heart or lung disease, transplantation, mechanical circulatory support, and pulmonary vascular disease. Proposals may involve basic science, clinical research, or translational research.
The program aims to foster trainee development while advancing scientific understanding and patient care in these fields. Support covers the practical costs of conducting and disseminating research, including researcher and study personnel salaries, statistical support, research materials, publication costs, and travel for abstract presentations. Scientific review considers both the proposed research and the quality of the applicant, mentor, and research environment.
