The Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum
About the Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum (GCRFF)
Founded in 2018, the Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum (GCRFF) is an international partnership of major cardiovascular research funders.
The GCRFF’s mission is to improve global cardiovascular health by accelerating, supporting and promoting transformational international research efforts in heart, stroke and circulatory diseases.

GCRFF workstreams
The GCRFF is actively progressing its efforts through the three primary workstreams:
1. Mulitinational Trials Initiative
This workstream focuses on facilitating the coordinated consideration of investigator-led multinational clinical trials by national funders. Learn more about the Mulitinational Trials Initiative.
2. Data Sharing Initiative
The GCRFF is exploring how partner organisations can best share data to advance common and unique research agendas, with the ultimate goal of driving the GCRFF's mission to a global scale. Learn more about the Data Sharing Initiative.
3. Setting a Research Agenda
In this workstream, partner organisations are collaboratively setting a joint research agenda to address areas of acute unmet need with global relevance in cardiovascular health. The current focus is women’s cardiovascular health and equity. The GCRFF is currently developing joint funding mechanisms and establishing positions on policy. Learn more about Setting a Research Agenda.
International Research Challenge on Women’s Cardiovascular Health
The Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum (GCRFF) is inviting researchers to compete in a new research challenge that aims to transform the landscape of women’s cardiovascular health.
