Researchers at Heart: The network of AHA/ASA awardees


Graphic treatment for the program, which reads Researchers at Heart: the network of AHA/ASA awardees

Research funding from the American Heart Association places awardees in the network of more than 30,000 investigators. Researchers at Heart: The network of AHA/ASA awardees was created to make the most of this researcher network by providing resources, programs and communications designed to keep AHA-funded investigators close to the AHA throughout their careers.
