The BHF has three research grant committees which each meet four times a year to assess applications. The members are experts in various aspects of basic and clinical cardiovascular research. Applications are sent to independent reviewers before being assessed in committee. Judgements are made on factors such as scientific merit, relevance to cardiovascular disease, timeliness, relationship to other work in the field and value for money. Approximately one-third of applications are successful.
