In Kansas during the past five years (2007-2011) the American Heart Association funded over $4.39 million in new research - 35 studies at 3 Kansas institutions.

• 8 studies at Kansas State University, Manhattan - $981,498
• 8 studies at the University of Kansas, Lawrence - $907,772
• 19 studies at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City - $2,501,016

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.
