Grants@Heart is the AHA's Web-based system for applicants, peer reviewers, awardees and grants officers/fiscal officers. This is a stand-alone system and is different from my.americanheart.org portal. The next research application deadlines will be in January 2011. Information will be available on our Web site in mid-September.

List of Achievements by AHA-supported Researchers
Jeffery Molkentin, Ph.D.
Marjorie Maillet, Ph.D.
After years of study and collaboration with fellow scientists, the work of Dr. Jeffery Molkentin has led to the first data proving that the enzyme calcineurin is critical in controlling normal development and function of heart cells, and that loss of the protein leads to heart problems and death in genetically modified mice. Scientists had already figured out that calcineurin is important to heart function, but they had not established the extent of its role prior to the current study. These results offer important groundwork for future studies that could lead to new approaches to diagnosing and treating heart patients, said Marjorie Maillet, Ph.D., the study's first author. More
Grants@Heart, our Web-based system for applicants, grant/fiscal officers, peer reviewers and awardees, was launched in 2008. Some of the advantages of this system are: Grants officers who handle pre-award administrative information, approval of initial budgets and application submission can find more information here.
Access to the system 24/7 with Internet connection and a Web browser (Internet Explorer for PC; Safari for Mac).
Grants officers can review the online application. It's now the GO's responsibility to submit the application to the AHA.
Fiscal officers can access all AHA awards from their institution.
Fiscal officers who handle post-award administrative information and submission of expenditures reports can find more information here.
The American Heart Association's peer review system includes subject-based committees that review applications to the national and affiliate research programs. Each committee reviews applications in a particular science area. Grants@Heart, our Web-based system for applicants, grant/fiscal officers, peer reviewers and awardees, was launched in 2008. Some of the advantages of this system are: Would you like to become a peer reviewer? Contact the AHA and find out how.
