Cardiovascular Research Networks (CVRNs)

Encouraging cardiovascular research excellence across Australia

The Heart Foundation's research program continues to maintain strong ties with cardiovascular research networks around Australia. These include the nationally focused Australian Cardiovascular Research Alliance and individual state-focused networks.

Together we work to improve the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease for all Australians by supporting a vibrant, world-class cardiovascular research community. We do this by fostering strong collaborative networks, building research capacity, addressing key issues in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, and advocating for increased investment in cardiovascular research.
