Heart Foundation Research Program
The Heart Foundation Research Program provides an important source of funding for research into the causes, prevention, management and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and related disorders. We provide funding to researchers working in universities, hospitals and recognised research institutions across Australia.
We support early to mid career researchers through funding for both people and projects. Funding is provided across three categories: biomedical, clinical and public health research. We award scholarships, fellowships, travel grants and grants-in-aid.
