91ɫƵ Cardiovascular Center Philanthropy

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in the United States, taking more than one million lives annually. We at the 91ɫƵ have made research aimed at understanding and curing heart, lung and blood vessel diseases a top priority.

The 91ɫƵ Cardiovascular Center's mission is to further develop strong and nationally recognized interdisciplinary cardiovascular research programs at 91ɫƵ and to promote comparable excellence in clinical care and education while developing Community outreach.

Philanthropy plays an important role in advancing the work of the Cardiovascular Center and the patients who receive its benefits.

Private philanthropy has been used by the Cardiovascular Center to provide seed funding to bright, new investigators for their start-up research projects.

A seed funding grant allows researchers to develop baseline research results and that in turn positions them competitively to receive U.S. National Institutes of Health or National Heart, Lung and Blood Disease Institute awards. Currently, seed fund grant recipients receive $50 of competitive funding for every $1 of philanthropy invested.

Private benefactors have also provided important recruitment funding needed to attract excellent faculty members to conduct research, provide care and implement community outreach and education. Recruitment funding has allowed the Cardiovascular Center to recruit postdoctoral researchers and faculty to conduct research. Endowed professorships have allowed the Cardiovascular Center to identify and develop programs around multidisciplinary themes.
