Since 2014, the Heart Association has been funding Strategic Research Networks. A network is comprised of three to six multi-disciplinary teams. Each team works on multiple projects focused on an area that is key to the Association's mission. The teams within a network collaborate through regular communication and meetings

Health Equity Research Networks were funded between fiscal years 2022 and 2025. These network focus on accelerating social equity and improving health for everyone as we continue to combat the barriers to health.

At the intersection of science and technology, Data Science research fuels breakthroughs aimed at preserving and prolonging health by more precisely predicting, preventing, and treating cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Our initiatives and grants are all centered on one thing - driving precision medicine in cardiovascular care so heart and stroke patients can have access to the best precision care to improve their health and quality of life, regardless of their background, location or income.
