The Applicant's research/quality improvement project mentor/supervisor must be a member in good standing of ISHLT at the time of application and throughout the period of funding.
The research project must be conducted at an accredited medical university, hospital/clinic, or other medical institution.
No grants will be made for projects that receive overlapping funding from other internal or external sources or that duplicate other projects already funded.
Other info: Optimizing outcomes of patients who have received a mechanical circulatory support device as treatment for advanced heart failure and increasing access to this life saving therapy are shared goals of ISHLT and ICCAC. Professional growth and development of VAD coordinators is paramount to ensuring the MCS community has the capacity to provide this advanced therapy.
Technological developments have ushered in an era of rapid expansion in the number of VAD patients and programs, the length of time patients are on support, and the professional opportunities VAD coordinators have within the MCS community. A result of this rapid growth is a shortage of trained, expert VAD coordinators around the world.
Professional development is a key element of establishing and maintaining a robust VAD coordinator professional base and of developing an attractive career path that will inspire talented professionals to join and contribute to VAD teams for many years.
