We're at the heart of improving Australia's health
We know the difference that cardiovascular and stroke research can make to millions of Australians each year. We help turn research into practice by connecting researchers, clinicians and health systems to make that a reality.
Collaborating for Research That Drives Real-World Impact
We highlight the exceptional value that CVD research creates, improving the health of our population and building a high-value industry.
Health Leadership Research Forum
Our Forums connect senior health officials Australia-wide to align health system priorities with research efforts.
Solving critical health issues using research
We bring together research leaders to develop ambitious and collaborative solutions to critical conditions. We have multidisciplinary efforts targeting coronary artery disease, heart failure, hypertension and stroke to prioritise research solutions for maximum impact.
Capacity Building
We foster a collaborative research culture through cross-sector mentoring for early and mid-career researchers. Our annual co-hosted National Summit with key partners shapes workforce sustainability.
