The AHA/ASA scientific councils' awards acknowledge significant achievements in cardiovascular diseases and stroke, ranging from basic research to service to the councils and the association.  These awards recognize the achievements of researchers, scientists, clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals throughout their careers.  They also provide opportunities for financial rewards, special presentations and funding to attend Scientific Sessions and other AHA scientific meetings.

The Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences proudly sponsors numerous awards, travel grants and a student scholarship that honor researchers, early career investigators and medical students.  Please click on an award link for more information, criteria and application instructions.
