Health Care by Food™ Planning Grant
Proposal deadline: March 11, 2025

The AHA's Health Care by Food™ initiative is building the evidence needed to show clinical and cost effectiveness so patients with acute or chronic disease or with risk factors for disease can access cost-effective food is medicine programs as a covered benefit through public and private health insurance. Funding will support development of a detailed trial protocol and grant on creating and testing ways in which food is medicine (FIM) interventions are efficacious for improved health outcomes.

Funded investigators will receive salary and other support for one year as they work to optimize and finalize trial design, draft a grant proposal to a federal agency or other major funder, establish a research team, develop tools for data management and research oversight, and prepare other items needed to submit and conduct a rigorous trial of a FIM intervention. The primary deliverable is a competitive proposal for funding from a government agency or other major funder.

Health Resources in Action Massachusetts Postdoctoral Fellowships
The Charles A. King Trust Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Award Program supports research on the causes of human disease with the mission of improving treatment. The program funds postdoctoral fellows and clinician scientists in the mid to late stages of their research training in basic and preclinical science, and clinical and implementation research to help them achieve their goals of becoming independent investigators in biomedical research. Senior postdoctoral researchers and mentored clinician-scientists (MD, DO or equivalent) working in the state of Massachusetts are eligible to apply. Deadline is Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at 2 p.m. ET. Details at www.hria.org/tmf/King. Send questions to [email protected]

As part of a comprehensive research analysis, the American Heart Association, in collaboration with Additional Ventures, invites investigators, individuals with lived experience, institutions, or pharmaceutical/device entities to provide insights into the critical areas of heart transplantation that must be transformed to significantly improve outcomes for these patients. Ideas should inform innovative approaches to improve patient outcomes such as enhanced interventions, including clinical trials, policies, or novel data analyses.
