AHA Funded Partnerships
The work of AHA Funded Partnerships augments support of the nation’s hospitals and health systems and the patients and communities they serve through grant-funded work. Guided by the AHA’s vision, strategic plan and the needs of members, Funded Partnerships includes the 501(c)(3) Health Research & Educational Trust and its performance improvement initiatives.
Together with funding partners, we continually seek new ways to advance the field and produce data-driven, comprehensive, scalable programs that transform health care.
