SCAI Early Career Research Grant Recipients

While cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality in the US have risen, funding for clinical research has remained relatively stagnant. As a result, early career cardiovascular interventionalists interested in research have found it increasingly difficult to fund their work. 

SCAI's Early Career Research Grants fund one year of research to support the career development of the next generation of academic interventional cardiologists.

“SCAI is very excited about the opportunity to cultivate the next generation of interventional cardiology researchers.

We are proud to offer these grants that will address gaps in research funding and tackle various health care disparities impacting patients.
