Research we support

For more than 60 years, the Heart Foundation has supported innovative cardiovascular research across Australia.

As Australia’s largest non-government investor in heart disease research, we fund world-class work across biomedical, clinical, public health and health services research. With the generous support of our donors, we support more than 200 active cardiovascular research projects each year through universities, hospitals and medical research institutes.

Our research funding portfolio supports extraordinary researchers and projects exploring a wide range of issues related to heart disease. We are committed to backing researchers at every stage of their career, from emerging talent to established leaders in cardiovascular science.
