The Myocarditis Foundation (MF) awards funds to support research related to all forms of myocarditis. The goal of MF’s research program is to advance medical knowledge on the disease and develop more accurate diagnostic methods and life-improving therapies with the goal of saving more lives.
The Myocarditis Foundation (MF) accepts fellowship grant applications on an annual basis for innovative basic, clinical or translational research relevant to the cause or treatment of myocarditis. MF’s fellowship grant program is designed to provide seed funding to investigators for the testing of
initial hypotheses and collecting of preliminary data to help secure long-term funding by the National
Institute of Health (NIH) and other major granting institutions. Funding is available at US $40,000 for
salary only.
Grant award decisions are made through a careful and detailed peer-review selection process by our Medical Advisory Board. Scientific excellence and relevance to myocarditis are the basic criteria for selecting the supported research project. The award is designed to support training and career
development of physician-scientists in myocarditis research.
MF will issue one request for proposals per year for either Adult or Pediatric Myocarditis. The deadline for grant submission is December 1 with final award decisions made by December 31. Upon receipt of a signed letter of agreement from the selected candidate, MF will disburse the funds in installments during the research year.
