Myocarditis Foundation Research Grants One of the most critical aspects of myocarditis research is encouraging promising physician-scientists to devote their talents to this important work. To do so, the Myocarditis Foundation Research Grant supports the training and career development of those who are dedicated to the study of myocarditis.

Research Grants are intended to offer seed funding to support the early stages of long-term research, from the investigation of an initial hypothesis to the collection of preliminary data. Grant recipients will receive a $50,000 stipend payable over the course of one year. This amount does not include additional funding for benefits, travel and/or other costs associated with research.

At the end of the grant period, recipients should be well-prepared to seek long-term funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH) or other major granting institution. Grants are awarded through a peer review process conducted by our Medical Advisory Board on the basis of scientific excellence and relevance to myocarditis research overall.
