Stiftung für Herz- und Kreislaufforschung is a Zurich-based cardiovascular research foundation that funds work from basic science through clinical translation, with a strong emphasis on improving patient care. Its grants tend to support specific research projects, research fellows, and named professorships, often tied to leading academic centers and investigators in Switzerland and Europe. The portfolio shows particular interest in vascular aging, arrhythmia, acute coronary syndromes, coagulation/hemostasis, Takotsubo syndrome, and tools that improve risk prediction or registry-based evidence.
Invite-only and highly programmatic, with support for specific projects, fellows (CHF 100,000 per year), and occasional named professorships (typically 6 years, around CHF 1.5 million). Grants appear to be concentrated in academic medical settings and are often structured as partial or full support for defined research initiatives.
