Our Mission
The GlaxoSmithKline Research & Education Foundation for Cardiovascular Disease is a professional organization comprised of leading researchers
dedicated to fostering cutting-edge cardiovascular research and inspiring leadership in new scientists.
The Foundation's mission is to promote the development of a new generation of clinician scientists through:
- Support of education on cutting-edge topics,
- Support of innovative research,
- Creation of opportunities for international exchange of ideas, and
- Vision to provide the most accessible portal for young researchers seeking links to potential sources of funding for their further study and future research
in cardiovascular disease.
Foundation Programs
The Competitive Grants Award Program for Young Investigators is a
two-year grant program enabling
young investigators and advanced cardiovascular disease fellows to obtain funding for innovative research. In 2002, 4 three-year grants were awarded for $50,000 per year.
From 2003 through 2005, 4 two-year grants were awarded annually also for $50,000 per year. Due to the popularity of the Foundation Grants Award program, a total of
6 research grants, each of $55,000 per year for 2 years will be awarded beginning in 2006. The winners of the Young Investigators
Award will be announced at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions.
The Genomics Educational Workshop is a state-of-the-art symposium designed to expand knowledge in genomics and CV disease and
inspire leadership in new scientists. The workshop is usually held annually or biennially in Philadelphia, PA, and 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.
