Innovative Science Summaries
Since 2014, the Association has funded Strategically Focused Research Networks
Each network is focused on a key research topic related to the Heart Association's mission. A network is comprised of three to six multi-disciplinary teams. Each team works on multiple projects in the area of focus, and the teams also collaborate through regular information sharing, communication and meetings. The reports on this page discuss the progress and findings of the networks whose grants have ended.
