Early Career Investigator Research Opportunities | American Heart Association The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association ® (AHA/ASA) greatly value the development of Early Career Professionals.
Investigator-led research opportunities are provided through a limited number of Early Career Investigator Database Research Seed Grants (ECI Grants) using data from AHA/ASA Quality Improvement Programs, including Get With The Guidelines ® (GWTG). For many professionals, these ECI Grants serve as stepping stones to future opportunities in research, collaboration and scientific advancement.
The ECI Grant recipient will receive AHA/ASA national level oversight as well as valuable GWTG Committee leadership and mentorship from key volunteer physicians. For the AHA/ASA, these ECI Grants provide a step forward in our mission of building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
About the Get With The Guidelines ® Database: Get With The Guidelines ® (GWTG) is a hospital-based quality improvement program designed to close the treatment gap in cardiovascular disease, stroke, and resuscitation. It includes modules in atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, heart failure, resuscitation and stroke.
American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) collects millions of patient records in our Quality Programs, creating vast databases for advancing scientific research. Data is collected at the patient level in hospitals participating in AHA/ASA Quality programs. Patients entered in the database are from U.S. hospitals only.
Data is patient and hospital de-identified at an aggregate level. Each program provides physicians and healthcare providers with materials, information and tools based on relevant evidence based guidelines.
Using standard protocols in the hospital setting will help ensure that cardiovascular disease patients are placed on appropriate medications, informed of recommended behavioral modifications, and improve the rate of intervention with cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients both in-hospital and post-discharge to reduce the incidence of CVD events.
Who is Eligible for the AHA/ASA Early Career Investigator Database Research Seed Grant: Investigators eligible to apply for the ECI Grant are PhDs and/or MDs who are current residents, fellows in training or have completed training within the last 5 years, or other doctoral prepared professionals who are early in their career development and have interest in cardiovascular or stroke research.
How To Develop and Submit a Research Proposal for the ECI Grant: Study questions (hypotheses) need to be developed within the context of data acquired through the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines® program. The applicant should review the data elements collected across each of the available programs: Longitudinal data post discharge is not available.
