2015 CVI Seed Grants Recipients
On behalf of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, congratulations to the 2015 CVI Seed Award recipients!
The Stanford Cardiovascular Institute has provided seed funding to support research in all areas of cardiovascular research and technology development since 2004. Our goal is to ignite and support new ideas that will improve how we diagnosis and treat cardiovascular diseases.
This year 43 applications were reviewed, representing multiple disciplines and approaches. The eight grants listed here were selected for this year’s funding round.
