What is it?

The Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum (GCRFF) was established in 2021 as a forum for dialogue and collaboration between major international cardiovascular research funders. The mission of the group is to advance global cardiovascular health by catalyzing, supporting, and promoting transformational international research efforts in heart, stroke, and circulatory diseases. A sub-group of GCRFF members has also been formed to facilitate the coordination of multinational clinical trials. The group aims to help researchers in different countries collaborate on plans and coordinate funding applications for ambitious global clinical trials, that might not be feasible in a single country or with support from a single funder.
