Enduring Hearts (EH) and The American Heart Association (AHA) share common priorities and interests in investing in biomedical research. Together, AHA and EH have established this jointly funded Request for Proposals (RFP) for the AHA/EH Translational Research Awards in Pediatric Heart Transplantation (PHT).

EH was founded in 2013 with a mission to fund research to increase longevity and improve the quality of life for children with transplanted hearts. In collaboration with its partners, founder and donors, EH has invested over $10 million for ˜ 60 investigator-initiated novel projects making it the largest nonprofit funded solely dedicated to pediatric heart transplant research.

The AHA was founded in 1924 and its mission is to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. The AHA has invested more than $5 billion in research, making it the largest nonprofit funder of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular research outside the federal government.
