SCA supports cardiothoracic and vascular research projects. This is the basis for the creation of the SCA/IARS Starter Grants, SCA/IARS Mid-Career Grants, SCA Diversity and Inclusion Grants, and the In-Training Grant. The SCA is committed to promoting the representation of women and underrepresented minority investigators. Diversity is vitally important to advance scientific discovery. The SCA especially encourages individuals from all racial, ethnic, or gender groups to apply.
