Non-NIH Sponsor Updates
The American Heart Association’s new on-line application system, Grants@Heart now is able to accept new applications. Applications to the Founders Affiliate are due to AHA by 11:59 p.m. Central Time on Tuesday, January 27, 2009; applications to the AHA National Center are due to AHA by 11:59 p.m. Central Time on Thursday, January 22, 2009. Applicants may submit one application only to the affiliate and one application to the National Center (if appropriate); if both are funded, he or she may accept one award only. New AHA practice is the requirement that institutional Grants Officers now must submit applications to the AHA whereas in the past, investigators submitted their own applications. Questions about the deadlines or use of the system: call Lora Hillgartner Wong, Manager, Applicant and Awardee Services, (410) 637-4539, Lora Wong.
