HRI sponsoring 2022 Cardiovascular Postgraduate Scholarship

Posted 10th May, 2022

The Heart Research Institute (HRI) is sponsoring a new Cardiovascular Postgraduate Scholarship under the Sydney Research Awards and Scholarships program.

The Scholarship is designed to encourage and support students in undertaking postgraduate qualifications at The University of Sydney in research around diagnosing, preventing or treating cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death globally.

CVD refers to all the diseases of the heart and circulation, including heart attack, stroke, congenital heart disease and atrial fibrillation. Its incidence worldwide is increasing, in part due to the rising prevalence of ‘lifestyle diseases’ such as obesity and diabetes – major risk factors for CVD.

With CVD taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year globally, the Scholarship will help advance critical research into fighting this devastating disease.
