American Heart Association
The American Heart Association, the world’s leading voluntary organization dedicated to a world of longer, healthier lives, is investing $20 million to study ways to prevent high blood pressure, particularly in underrepresented populations. Applications are now being accepted for coordinated submission of three to five research centers and a coordinating center that will be funded through this fast-track initiative. Letters of intent are required and due by Friday, April 23, 2021.
The Health Equity Research Network (HERN) on the Prevention of Hypertension is part of the multi-pronged approach of the American Heart Association’s unprecedented pledge to aggressively address social determinants while working to support and improve the equitable health of all communities.
