Fall/Winter Deadlines for Research Funding

Below is a listing of all upcoming Fall/Winter AHA funding opportunities. Visit AHA Application Information for requirements and characteristics of all AHA research awards.

 

Strategically Focused Research Network on the Science of Diversity in Clinical Trials
To identify solutions underlying the inequitable participation of diverse individuals in clinical research, and the associated health inequities it creates.

Pre-proposal (letter of intent) Deadline: Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2021

Application Deadline: Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022

Award Start Date: April 1, 2022

 

Impact of Social Determinants on Health Risks and Outcomes
To establish standards for measuring social determinants of health (SDOH) and evaluating their impact on cardiovascular disease risk and quality-of-life outcomes. Must leverage workspaces equipped with analysis tools and computational power on the existing AHA Precision Medicine Platform for data analysis and must harness data from the AHA’s Social Impact Fund of over 80 community projects.

Pre-proposal (letter of intent) Deadline: Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021

Application Deadline: Feb. 2022

Award Start Date: April 1, 2022

 

Collaborative Sciences Award 
Fosters innovative collaborative approaches to research projects that propose novel pairings of investigators from at least two broadly disparate disciplines. At least one Co-PI must work outside of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular fields.

Pre-proposal (letter of intent) Deadline: Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2022

Application Deadline: Wednesday, March 16, 2022

Award Start Date: July 1, 2022

 

AHA Institutional Research Enhancement Award (AIREA)
To support small-scale research projects related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases at educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or advanced degrees but that have not been major recipients of National Institutes of Health (NIH) support.

Application Deadline: Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022

Award Start Date: April 1, 2022

 

Established Investigator Award
Supports investigators (typically at the associate professor level) with unusual promise and established records of accomplishments. Candidates have demonstrated a commitment to cardiovascular or cerebrovascular science disciplines that support the AHA’s mission.

Pre-proposal (letter of intent) Deadline: Thursday, Jan. 13, 2022

Application Deadline: Wednesday, March 23, 2022

Award Start Date: July 1, 2022

 

Transformational Project Award
Funds highly innovative, high-impact projects that build on work in progress that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will accelerate the AHA’s mission. Research deemed innovative may be built around an emerging paradigm, approaching an existing problem from a new perspective, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. Successful proposals are likely to be building on strong preliminary data supportive of the hypothesis.

Application Deadline: Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022

Award Start Date: July 1, 2022

 

Research Supplement to Promote Diversity in Science
Current AHA awardees may apply for this mechanism to mentor predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in science.

Application Deadline: Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022

Award Start Date: April 1, 2022
