The American Heart Association and The Children's Heart Foundation made a joint investment of $917,426 to advance research on congenital heart defects, the organizations said Feb. 8.
The money was awarded to eight researchers at San Francisco-based The J. David Gladstone Institutes; Atlanta-based Emory University; Stanford (Calif.) University School of Medicine; Ithaca, N.Y.-based Cornell University; University of Oklahoma in Norman; The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio; University of California in San Francisco; and the Children's National Medical Center and Children's Research Institute in Washington, D.C.
