The American Heart Association funds research projects nationwide and offers Community Impact Grants for community-based cardiovascular health promotion. Federal research funding comes primarily through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at NIH.

Who funds heart disease research and prevention?

The American Heart Association is the largest nonprofit funder of cardiovascular research and has supported tens of thousands of research projects since 1949, while also funding community programs. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at NIH is the dominant federal funder. The American Heart Association has also partnered with funders such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on community-driven research to reduce health inequities.

Can community organizations get heart disease grants, or only researchers?

Both can. Researchers and institutions compete for cardiovascular research grants, while community organizations, schools, and health departments are eligible for community-focused funding like American Heart Association Community Impact Grants, which support wellness and prevention programs rather than individual applicants. Identify whether your work is research or community programming, since the funders and eligibility rules differ.
