InterHeart: Understanding the interactions between cardiovascular diseases and comorbidities and/or their therapeutic treatments
ERA4Health is glad to pre-announce the launch of its sixth joint transnational call “Understanding the interactions between cardiovascular diseases and comorbidities and/or their therapeutic treatments”
ERA4Health brings the opportunity to increase European transnational collaborative research funding by creating a funding body for joint programming. Under this umbrella, ERA4Health is glad to pre-announce the launch of its sixth joint transnational call “InterHeart” that will support research that:
- build our understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms governing interactions between the cardiovascular system and the other organs/systems when at least one of the two presents a pathological state
- build a comprehensive approach to understanding cardiovascular disease interactions, combining basic research, clinical translation, and digital innovation through international collaboration
- enable transnational collaboration of multidisciplinary scientists from different countries to work together across borders, taking advantage of complementary expertise and leveraging diverse patient populations and sets of data.
