A new interactive research portal provides access to data on investigators, institutions, awards, and resulting publications funded by the AHA since 2006.
Examples of information you can access:
- Lookup a scientist’s AHA funding since 2006. If funded, review the awardee’s area of expertise.
- Enter a science topic (e.g., Kawasaki Disease, Valve Repair) to find examples of AHA-funded research. View publications resulting from AHA funding and see collaborating investigators.
- Enter a project summary or publication abstract to see if AHA has funded similar research and locate AHA researchers with similar expertise.
- Locate institutions in a specific geographic location with active AHA awards.
As with any tool, there are some limitations based on the data available to select. Please see the reSEARCH@Heart web page for details.

Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention Phase I: Development Grants: LOI Deadline: October 1, 2021
|
This initiative focuses on fundamental research and capabilities needed to tackle grand challenges in infectious disease pandemics through prediction and prevention.
The PIPP Phase I initiative intends to support planning activities encompassing (1) articulation of a grand challenge centered around a critical and broad question in pandemic predictive intelligence; (2) proposals of novel conceptual research and technology developments that aim to advance state-of-the-art forecasting, real-time monitoring, mitigation, and prevention of the spread of pathogens; and (3) multidisciplinary team formation. Successful Phase I proposals must identify an innovative interdisciplinary grand challenge that engages integrated computational, biological, engineering, and social/behavioral approaches to formulate and solve critical problems relating to predictive intelligence for pandemic prevention. PIs of Phase I Development Grants are strongly encouraged to develop research and technical approaches that start to address critical aspects of the identified grand challenge.
