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.

Dr Tania Winzenberg
Lifestyle Outcomes of Absolute risk Feedback (LOAF)

Tania’s study is investigating how a heart health check or measuring an individual’s cardiovascular disease risk could in fact motivate patients to change their behaviour and actually improve their heart health. This research could lead to the use of this approach for identifying cardiovascular risk in general practice across Australia. Ultimately, this research could help many Australians to achieve better heart health and reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease on our community.
