The Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund

Focus on IPAH (PPH)
Medical Research

The Cardiovascular Medical Research and Education Fund (CMREF) was created as a non-profit fund operated solely for charitable, scientific and educational purposes. The CMREF mission is the support of research to uncover the etiology and pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH, or PPH), in pursuit of the ultimate goal of its treatment and cure.

Specifically, the mission of the fund is to support education activities that will enhance the knowledge of pulmonary hypertension, and research projects that may help uncover the causes and pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), in pursuit of the ultimate goal of its treatment and cure. 

Announcements:

  • The members of the CMREF are sad to report the passing of Robyn Barst, MD, on April 19, 2013. She was an original member of the CMREF Research Advisory Committee and helped guide the CMREF in its mission to find treatments, prevention and cure for pulmonary hypertension. Her contributions to the field were enormous.
  • In response to the Request for Proposals on “Studies of the Right Ventricular Response to Therapy in Patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension” the CMREF has awarded the grant to Dr. Yuchi Han and colleagues from The University of Pennsylvania for their project entitled “Targeting metabolism to reverse RV dysfunction in PAH”.
The RV RFA program is closed for applications.
  • The CMREF is happy to support the 2013 Grover Conference.  The conference will focus on the coupling of the right ventricle and pulmonary circulation in health and disease.
For more information please refer to the 2013 Grover Conference Program at http://www.thoracic.org/assemblies/pc/grover-conference/index.php
  • The RO3 program is underway and closed for applications.  Please contact the NIH NHLBI for information on applications to study pulmonary hypertension.
