American
Health Assistance Foundation (AHAF) is one of America's
leading supporters of scientific and medical investigations
into Alzheimer's Disease, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration,
Heart Disease, and Stroke. Founded in 1973, AHAF has since
awarded more than $45 million in research grants to some
of the most prominent scientists working at universities,
hospitals, and medical centers around the world. AHAF is
currently supporting a total of 49 research efforts: 20
projects funded through Alzheimer's Disease Research; 18
through National Glaucoma Research; 7 through the National
Heart Foundation; and 6 through Macular Degeneration Research.
Funds
nonprofits only. Basic research on the causes of or treatments

The
American Heart Association's financial contribution
to cardiovascular research is very impressive for a publicly
funded health organization. While, it is far less than the
sum distributed by the federal government through its National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The Association has carved
an important niche in supporting the development of beginning
investigators and offering innovative funding mechanisms
to stimulate research in promising science areas.
