In Wisconsin during the past five years (2007-2011) the American Heart Association funded over $15.2 million in new research:

• 7 new research studies at the BloodCenter of Wisconsin, Milwaukee at a cost of $737,568
• 4 new research studies at Marquette University, Milwaukee at a cost of $304,772
• 39 new research studies at Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee at a cost of $5,443,915
• 2 new research studies at University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee at a cost of $706,772
• 86 new research studies at University of Wisconsin, Madison at a cost of $8,014,415

Nationwide, we invest almost $123 million a year ($3.3 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.
