New Grant Opportunity

Edwards Lifesciences will start accepting proposals in May 2019 for grants through its Every Heartbeat Matters program to address heart-valve disease worldwide, especially in poor regions. Nonprofit organizations will be able to apply for up to $250,000 in grants for public education, clinical education, screening, or treatment.

Correction: A previous version of this roundup mistakenly said that Edwards Lifescience is currently accepting applications for its Every Heartbeat Matters program. The money for this year ($4.3 million in total) has already been distributed, but the next round begins in May 2019.
