Vision Grants

Vision Grants are small awards intended to provide initial funding for novel ideas, which might otherwise not be pursued due to lack of funding. While preliminary data is not required, careful development of hypothesis based on existing information is expected. Development of hypotheses from cardiovascular principles generated outside of pregnancy to hypertension in pregnancy is encouraged. While these awards are ideal for young investigators, they are not limited to young investigators. They should, however, be directed towards novel rather than well established lines of research.
