The Heart Foundation is Australia’s largest non-government funder of cardiovascular research. We are committed to advancing knowledge to better prevent, treat and manage conditions including heart disease, stroke and blood vessel disease.
For over 60 years, we have been offering grants that fund research into improving cardiovascular health outcomes across the biomedical, clinical, public health and health services disciplines.
Alongside these invaluable traditional research grants, we are introducing our new Catalyst Grants – a new and innovative way for the Heart Foundation to contribute to the national fight against cardiovascular disease.
Catalyst Grants overcome many of the barriers to traditional research and are open to applicants across all sectors that can outline a project and activity that aims to improve the cardiovascular health of people in Australia.
Catalyst Grant awardees will become long-term partners of the Heart Foundation for whom we will seek funding to 'bring their idea to life'.
There are no specific questions that the grant applications must address. However, applications must fall within one of the strategic priority areas of the Heart Foundation as below:
Catalyst Grant Finalists must be able to commit to the development and refinement of their pitch and engage with an external consultant as required, over the period of mid-October – February, excluding end of year closure/break.
No. Catalyst Grant applications are open to individuals, teams or organisations from any sector. The only requirement is an ABN.
There is no limit.
