We fund £100 million of cardiovascular research annually and every pound of that investment is overseen by our Research Funds team. They make sure that donations go to high quality research.
As the largest independent funder of research into heart and circulatory diseases, we have a track record of investing in groundbreaking work - from clot busting drugs to ICDs. Research Grant Management is at the centre of our world-leading research portfolio, funding the brightest scientists at every stage of their career, and investing in the buildings and facilities that they need.
Our busy team combines exceptional administrative skills with the specialist knowledge of researchers who have joined us from the lab. They manage around 600 applications each year for research grants into all aspects of heart and circulatory diseases, overseeing funding committees and tracking the progress of grants towards exciting discoveries.
They also play a key role in the leadership of the British Heart Foundation - spotting emerging scientific trends and advising researchers, from those setting out in their careers to world renowned experts. Research Grant Management is about taking brilliant ideas, and helping steer them into research that could save millions.
