Enduring Hearts RFA

The Children’s Heart Research and Outcomes (HeRO) Center is pleased to announce the availability of research funding due to a generous contribution from Enduring Hearts (www.enduringhearts.org).  The goal of this program is to catalyze research at Emory, Georgia Tech, and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to solve major problems associated with cardiac transplantation in children.  The average transplant does not last long enough (<17 years) and requires toxic cocktails of immunosuppressive drugs…too much for any child to have to endure.  We are soliciting projects in the areas outlined below with a maximum duration of 2 years and a maximum total cost of $150k.  Interested candidates should submit an application of no more than 5 pages, NIH-style bio-sketches of all key personnel, and a detailed budget by 9/30/2021, by accessing the application here. Please complete and upload the attached budget template (required) as well as Financial Agreement (if required) in the necessary sections of the application.
