The Heart Failure Research Foundation is HFSA’s philanthropic home for individuals who want to improve the lives of patients through the advancement of heart failure research. Formerly launched in 2023, the Foundation’s work is only possible when our donors choose to give generously. HFSA wants to take a moment to recognize those individuals who gave generously in 2024 and allowed us to open our first call for Emerging Leader Grant applications.
The inaugural Emerging Leader Grants letters of inquiry were reviewed by the HFSA Research Committee, and they invited four applicants out of 18 received to submit a full proposal. Award announcements will be made in early spring 2025. To open our Transformative Research Grants – supporting novel ideas in their early stages – we need your generosity today. Join your fellow physicians, scientists, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, caregivers, and patients who are supporting the future of patient care with your gift today.
Your donation is tax-deductible, and every dollar will be invested in research thanks to HFSA covering 100% of the administrative costs.
The following list of supporters is as of December 3, 2024. We have made every effort to ensure names and tributes appear correctly. Please contact [email protected] with corrections so they can be immediately addressed.
