Research at Minnesota Institutions
In Minnesota during the past five years (2007-2011) the American Heart Association funded almost $14 million in new research:

• 39 new research studies at Mayo Clinic, Rochester at a cost of $5,668,215
• 1 new research study at Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation at a cost of $110,000
• 55 new research studies at University of Minnesota, Minneapolis/St. Paul at a cost of $8,109,301
• 1 new research study at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Minneapolis at a cost of $4,000

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.
