The Heart Failure Research Foundation is an initiative of the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA). HFSA is a multidisciplinary organization working to improve and expand heart failure care through collaboration, education, research, innovation, and advocacy. HFSA members include physicians, scientists, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and patients.

The Foundation accomplishes our mission through two program priorities identified by the HFSA Research Committee and adopted by the HFSA Board of Directors. Both programs intend to infuse the field of heart failure with experts and ideas needed to reduce the burden of heart failure on patients and their families by:

Providing grants to emerging leaders who are early-stage investigators. Our first round was opened in late 2024, and the first two grants were awarded in spring 2025.
Funding transformative research designed to acquire new clinical knowledge that is applicable to patient care. Our next milestone is to raise $250,000 to fund our first round of Transformative Research Grants.
