Overview of the American Heart Association's Program Portfolio for
July 2010 Deadlines |
Predoctoral Fellowship
Helps students initiate careers in cardiovascular and stroke research by providing research assistance and training.
Currently offered by: Founders Affiliate, Midwest Affiliate, Pacific Mountain Affiliate and South Central Affiliate,
Great Rivers Affiliate, Greater Southeast Affiliate, Mid-Atlantic Affiliate and Western States Affiliate are not offering this program for summer deadlines.
Clinical Research Program
To encourage early career investigators who have appropriate and supportive mentoring relationships to engage in high quality introductory and pilot clinical studies that will guide future strategies for reducing cardiovascular disease and stroke while fostering new research in clinical and translational science, and encouraging community- and population-based activities.
This grant is not intended to fund basic science or to support senior researchers, but encourages mentoring of early career investigators.
Currently offered by: Founders Affiliate and National
Great Rivers Affiliate, Greater Southeast Affiliate, Mid-Atlantic Affiliate, Midwest Affiliate, Pacific Mountain Affiliate and Western States Affiliate are not offering this program for summer deadlines.
Postdoctoral Fellowship
To help trainees initiate careers in cardiovascular and stroke research while obtaining significant research results under the supervision of a sponsor or mentor; supports individuals before they are ready for some stage of independent research.
Currently offered by: Founders Affiliate, Midwest Affiliate, Pacific Mountain Affiliate and South Central Affiliate
Great Rivers Affiliate, Greater Southeast Affiliate, Mid-Atlantic Affiliate and Western States Affiliate are not offering this program for summer deadlines.
Innovative Research Grant
To support highly innovative, high-risk, high-reward research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate the field of cardiovascular and stroke research.
Research deemed innovative may introduce a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. The Innovative Research Grant (IRG) promotes new ideas; therefore, proposals need not include preliminary data. However, a solid rationale for the work must be provided. Proposed work should not be the next logical step of previous work, but should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation, if successful. This program aims to provide pilot or seed funding that should lead to successful competition for additional funding beyond the pilot period.
The principal investigator (PI) is responsible for clearly and explicitly articulating the project's innovation and the potential impact on cardiovascular and stroke research.
Currently offered by: National
Beginning Grant-In-Aid
To promote the independent status of promising beginning scientists.
Currently offered by: Pacific Mountain Affiliate and South Central Affiliate,
Great Rivers Affiliate, Mid-Atlantic Affiliate and Western States Affiliate are not offering this program for summer deadlines.
Scientist Development Grant
To support highly promising beginning scientists in their progress toward independence by encouraging and adequately funding research projects that can bridge the gap between completion of research training and readiness for successful competition as an independent investigator.
Currently offered by: Founders Affiliate and National
The Midwest Affiliate is not offering this program for summer deadlines.
Grant-In-Aid
To encourage and adequately fund the most innovative and meritorious research projects from independent investigators.
Currently offered by: Founders Affiliate and Pacific Mountain Affiliate,
Greater Southeast Affiliate, Mid-Atlantic Affiliate, Midwest Affiliate, South Central Affiliate and Western States Affiliate are not offering this program for summer deadlines.
| Additional AHA Programs Not Currently Being Offered |
Health Sciences Fellowship
To provide opportunities for health science students to work for ten consecutive weeks with a faculty/staff member on any project related to the mission of the American Heart Association. The goal is to encourage students to consider a future academic career in this area.
Undergraduate Student Research Fellowship
Encourages promising students from all disciplines, including women and members of minority groups underrepresented in the sciences, to consider research careers while supporting the highest quality scientific investigation broadly related to cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Fellow-to-Faculty Transition Award
Provides funding for trainees with outstanding potential for careers as physician-scientists in cardiovascular or stroke research during the crucial career development from the completion of research training through the early years of the first faculty/staff position.
