PHA/NHLBI K08/K23 Award Winners

Through a career development award partnership with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Pulmonary Hypertension Association is pleased to provide supplemental funding to individuals who receive an NHLBI Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08) or a Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) for research on pulmonary hypertension. The K23 award is focused on patient oriented research where clinicians interact directly with patients in their studies. The K08 award provides support to researchers through supervised research career development in the fields of biomedical and behavioral research, including translational research but whose studies do not include direct interaction with patients.

This program’s award recipients are active in the PH community and PHA is proud to have provided support to 10 researchers to date. Learn more about this program
