The Foundation is dedicated to funding and supporting research that will lead to the most innovative cardiac care for the greater Tampa Bay community.  Part of what makes us unique is our grant objective to provide start-up funding for committed and enthusiastic regional researchers. Grants for clinical and basic science research, are made to qualified scientists based on applications submitted to the Foundation’s Scientific Research and Review Board.  We believe that research of merit should be conducted, and we are committed to providing an avenue for timely research that may ultimately save lives.
