Infrastructure Grants

The British Heart Foundation is prepared to consider applications for up to £500,000 towards the costs of providing essential infrastructure to support cardiovascular science in any academic institution. These awards will be accessible to all senior cardiovascular scientists. 

In applying for an award applicants will have to demonstrate that a significant proportion (usually half) of the required funds is available locally. 

The grant could be used to support building refurbishment or to buy major pieces of equipment to support the activities of several cardiovascular scientists that could not usually be requested on project or programme grants. The grant cannot be used for recurrent expenses such as salaries or consumables.

Please write to the Medical Director or Research Funds Manager with an outline proposal so that advice can be given on the timing and mechanism for submitting a full application.
