Anaheim, CA - World-Renowned Cardiologists Announce The Launch Of The GlaxoSmithKline Research & Education Foundation -- Pledging
Their Commitment To Inspiring Leadership In New Scientists
THE FOUNDATION TO AWARD YOUNG INVESTIGATORS WITH OVER $600,000 IN GRANTS FOR CARDIOLOGY RESEARCH
World-renowned cardiologists today announced the launch of the GlaxoSmithKline Research & Education Foundation for Cardiovascular Disease. As part
of the Foundation's mission the organization will award up to $600,000 for research via its Competitive Grants Award Program for Young Investigators.
Additionally, the Foundation will sponsor a Genomics Educational Workshop examining new research approaches to evolving technologies in cardiology.
The goals of the new Foundation as well as upcoming programs were unveiled at a symposium at the American Heart Association annual meeting in Anaheim, CA.*
PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH
The Competitive Grants Award Program for Young Investigators is a 3-year grant program enabling young investigators and advanced cardiovascular disease
fellows from all over the world to obtain funding for innovative research. A total of four $50,000 grants will be awarded per year for three years. Winners of the
grants will be announced in March 2002. Applications as well as eligibility details for the grant program are available on the Foundation's webster, www.cvfoundation.org.
"We are very excited by the formation of the GlaxoSmithKline Research & Education Foundation for Cardiovascular Disease," said Valentin Fuster,
M.D., Ph.D., Dean for Academic Affairs at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, New York and Chairman of the GlaxoSmithKline Research & Education
Foundation for Cardiovascular Disease.
"Through our programs we hope to inspire researchers to further cardiovascular research and close the gap that exists between the basic lab science and clinical
practice. We think the grant initiative will provide an excellent opportunity and an incentive to young investigators to enter into clinical research and dedicate
themselves to cardiology."
The Genomics Educational Workshop, which will be held in June 2002, will provide participants with up-to-date techniques to research approaches
related to evolving technologies in cardiology. The workshop, to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is offered free of charge to members of the medical
community. Attendees will assume their own travel and lodging expenses. The Foundation will sponsor the travel and hotel costs for twenty young investigators
(fellows or junior faculty) nominated by their mentors and selected on a merit basis by an independent panel of Foundation Advisory Board members.
*This event is not part of the official American College of Cardiology (ACC) Annual Scientific Session as planned by the Annual Scientific Session Program Committee
(AASPC).
The GlaxoSmithKline Research & Education Foundation for Cardiovascular Disease receives support through a grant from
GlaxoSmithKline.
