Funding pattern
What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.
Where the money goes
- Cardiovascular research at academic medical centers and schools of medicine
- Multi-year institutional research awards to large research universities
- Individual investigator awards routed through university research foundations
- Children's hospital and pediatric cardiac research programs
- Research at institutions in CA, TX, NY, IA and NC
Typical grant
The median payment is $25,000 and half of all grants fall between $10,000 and $137,799, which reflects the many individual fellowship and career-stage awards paid through host institutions. The very large checks, $1M to nearly $10M, are aggregate totals to universities hosting many funded investigators at once, with Michigan, Stanford, Augusta University, Mass General and Ohio State at the top. Giving repeats heavily year over year at the same set of research universities, since multi-year awards pay out in installments.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “Research”
- “Research Institute”
- “School of Medicine”
- “Health Science Center”
- “Research Foundation”
Positioning adjacent work
- Route the request through your institution's sponsored research office; every recipient here is an institution, not an individual.
- Frame the work explicitly as cardiovascular or cerebrovascular research, the single purpose code on all listed grants.
- Size an early-career or single-investigator ask near $25,000 to $150,000, not seven figures.
- Cite existing funded investigators at your institution; concentration at repeat universities signals institutional track record matters.
Worth knowing: This is a national health organization that pays out through university research administration, so the money follows established research infrastructure rather than geography or relationships with program staff. A few dozen large research universities absorb most of the dollars, while the 2,000-plus other recipients receive modest individual awards, meaning an applicant at a smaller institution should expect the lower end of the range.
