Grant requests are considered on a quarterly basis by the The Cardiovascular Research and Education Foundation Grants and Education Committee and awarded from unrestricted contributions received by the Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is to provide educational and philanthropic support to advance the field of cardiology through innovative programs benefiting both healthcare professionals and patients.
Grants may be submitted year round but are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Applications must be received on the following days to be eligible for consideration: February 27, May 29, August 29 and November 27, 2009. Applicants will be notified within 4 weeks of review by the Grant and Education Committee as to the status of the request. The Cardiovascular Research and Education Foundation operates on a January 1 – December 31 annual budget.
Proposals requesting more than $10,000 will not be considered by the committee. Grant terms are for one year.
Grant recipients are required to submit a written report upon completion of their project (form will be provided) or submit a progress and fiduciary report on an annual basis if the project extends more than one year. In addition to the written report, photos of the project and testimonials from beneficiaries are encouraged and helpful in raising additional unrestricted contributions.
Grants are awarded exclusively for projects that benefit the mission of CREFI.
