Research Committee

One of the primary goals is to promote high quality research into the health of heart failure patients. Encouraging and disseminating research is overseen by our Research Committee. This group of researchers and academics forms the national voice for research proposals and develop resources for researchers. The Committee welcomes submissions from researchers at all stages of their research career in our campaign to raise the profile of heart failure research.
