New international research challenge to tackle critical knowledge gaps in women’s cardiovascular health

    This first network grant from the Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum will support transformative research up to a value of US $10 million.

    The German Centre for Cardiovacular Research, alongside 11 leading cardiovascular research funders around the world, is inviting researchers to compete in a new research challenge that aims to transform the landscape of women’s cardiovascular health.

    Taking strides to better understand and improve women’s cardiovascular health around the world, the International Research Challenge on Women’s Cardiovascular Health will fund a world-class international research program for up to US $10 million over five years.

    The grant will be awarded by the Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum (GCRFF) – an international alliance of 12 major funders of cardiovascular research across the world – to address areas of unmet clinical need within women’s cardiovascular health. This is the first significant joint investment from the GCRFF to support research on the international stage.

    Through funding a network of the brightest minds and the best science, the challenge represents an opportunity for international, multi-disciplinary and multi-institution collaboration. Combining global expertise, the winning network’s research program will aim to deliver real-world impact in women’s cardiovascular health that would not otherwise be possible.

    The International Research Challenge will invite proposals focused on advancing women’s cardiovascular health in areas that are under-researched and/or require greater understanding. Proposals that address three specific area gaps are also encouraged:

    1. Risk factors and prevention of cardiovascular disease across women’s life stages
    2. Clinical diagnosis and treatment of conditions more prevalent, or with worse outcomes among women
    3. Sex-specific underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular disease in women

    The successful research program must demonstrate a clear path to impacting and improving patient outcomes, and research outcomes must be applicable to GCRFF member countries and have the potential for wider global application.

    Letters of intent (LOI) are due by January 15, 2025.
