EXAMPLES OF FUNDED PROJECTS (1) Investigator-initiated research project grants on the surgical treatment of cardiac arrythmias, on growth-factor mediation of healing in vascular grafts, and on mechanisms for cardiovascular control early in diabetes. (2) Institute-initiated research project grants on stem cell research in cardiomyopathy, on using adult stem cells to repair cardiac damage, and on altered glucose and lipid metabolism in obesity and cardiovascular disease. (3) AIDS-related research project grants on cardiomyopathy, on mitochondrial nucleotide carriers, and on endothelial oxidative stress and atherosclerosis. (4) An institute-initiated program project, a center of excellence in gene therapy. (5) Investigator-initiated program project grants on genetic approaches to early cardiac development, on oxidative stress and diabetic cardiovascular disease, and on the biomechanics of the heart, vessels, and blood cells. (6) Institute-initiated Specialized Centers of Research (SCORs) on the arterial wall and atherogenesis in mice and humans, and on heart failure. (7) Cooperative agreements for a clinical trial of the surgical treatment for ischemic heart failure, for a pediatric heart disease clinical research network, and for a center on fetal monkey gene transfer for heart, lung, and blood. (8) SBIR and STTR grants on the preservation of tissue-engineered myocardial components, on cardiac output for children's ICU, on developing ECG software to detect acute myocardial infarction, on developing a biologically active vascular graft, and on new drugs for treating atrial fibrillation. (9) Training grants on translational cardiovascular science and medicine, on developmental cardiology and pulmonary training, and on cardiovascular biomechanics and imaging. |
