The Translational Research Project Grants from Heart Research UK support established cardiovascular health researchers in the UK working on the translation of cardiovascular research into clinical applications. Projects of particular interest include:
- First translational gap: preclinical studies that apply discoveries generated in the laboratory to studies in humans. These studies should be applied in nature and directed at aetiology or treatments of diseases from the outset, not exploring fundamental mechanisms of biology or disease.
- Second translational gap: Patient-focused studies. Research that has a direct and immediate benefit on patient care including diagnostic, prevention and treatment strategies.
Applicants may apply for up to 200,000 GBP in funding (no indirect costs). Applications open on May 1 and close on June 1 each year. The next applications close on June 1, 2023.
