What are the benefits of becoming a member of HFRN?
Being a member of HFRN allows HFSA members to participate in high quality clinical trials. As the Network engages with clinical trial Sponsors, HFRN members will be sent site feasibility surveys, giving them the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial that meets their expertise. Once a clinical trial Sponsor contracts with a HFRN-member site, HFSA provides additional support, as needed, to assist or advise members, and to monitor the progress of the work. There is no cost for HFSA members to belong to the Network.

What are the benefits to Sponsors working with HFRN?
The HFRN provides access to a network of heart failure experts engaged in clinical research. The sponsor maintains direct oversight and primary communication with sites.
To submit a protocol for review, sponsors can contact Debbie Zeldow, Director, Science and Research at HFSA, at dzeldow@hfsa.org.
How does it work?
- A clinical trial sponsor submits a research protocol to HFSA for review
- A fee is determined based on the work identified in the protocol
- HFSA sends the sponsor’s feasibility survey to HFRN members
- HFSA reviews completed surveys and recommends a list of qualified sites to the Sponsor
- The sponsor chooses the sites with which they want to work
- Once a sponsor selects a recommended HFRN member to participate in their trial, HFSA will monitor the progress of the work to ensure satisfaction on the part of the sponsor and the HFRN site
