About Swiss Heart Foundation

The Swiss Heart Foundation supports cardiovascular and stroke-related science in Switzerland, with a clear emphasis on research, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment that can improve patient outcomes and quality of life. It also recognizes outstanding scientific work through annual and biennial prizes, and invests in young investigators and career development for clinicians and researchers. Overall, this is a highly specialized, Switzerland-focused funder that primarily backs qualified researchers and academic medical institutions rather than community nonprofits.
