The American Heart Association Great Rivers Affiliate (which covers Pennsylvania) offers a pre-doctoral fellowship to help students initiate careers in cardiovascular and stroke research by providing research assistance and training. Proposals are encouraged from all basic, epidemiological and/or clinical disciplines that bear on cardiovascular and stroke problems.

It is particularly important for the new fellow to receive wise counsel and direction from a senior investigator interested in the conduct and progress of the research project during the research-training period. Each fellow must have a sponsor.
