NHLBI Funds Millions of Dollars for PH Research Through Research Centers

Because of all your work garnering support for the PH Research Act, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) took notice of our cause and agreed to fund two Specialized Centers for Clinically Oriented Research (SCCORs) at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and the University of Colorado in Denver. These centers are similar to the “Centers of Excellence” called for in the PH Research Act. Each center will pursue multiple PH research projects, and the funding they receive from NHLBI over the next five years will total millions of dollars.
