In South Dakota during the past five years (2008-2012) the American Heart Association funded over $1.27 million in new research:

• 1 new research study at South Dakota State University, Brookings at a cost of $142,889
• 2 new research studies at University of South Dakota, Sioux Falls at a cost of $359,855
• 5 new research studies at University of South Dakota, Vermillion at a cost of $772,000

Nationwide, we invest almost $130 million a year ($3.4 billion since 1949) in heart and stroke research that has led to recent breakthroughs such as clot-busting drugs and drug-eluting stents. Healthcare providers learn about medical advances and new treatment guidelines though our journals, conferences and online courses.

In our 11-state Midwest Affiliate we currently are supporting 400 multi-year studies at a cost of $60,843,586.

The American Heart Association Midwest Affiliate funds projects that help us achieve our Impact Goal: To improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20% by the year 2020, and to reduce deaths from heart disease and stroke by 20%.

Applications were due in February 2013; funding begins July 1, 2013.
