Expanding cardiovascular growth in cutting-edge research, training, and outcomes.

The Comprehensive Cardiovascular Center (CCVC) is currently a pilot UWIRC working to position UAB as a premier institutiion for Cardiovascular research. This coordinated organizational vision fosters multi-disciplinary and multi-investigator collaborations and programmatic development in cardiovascular research.

Improving the Detection, Treatment, Prevention, and Understanding of Cardiovascular Disease

Improving the Detection, Treatment, Prevention, and Understanding of Cardiovascular Disease

Since its inception in 2012, the CCVC has supported, 15 pilot awards with center-specific RFAs soliciting a broad cross-section of CV research: basic, translational, and population science. This initiative has supported the Center's goal of research accleration.

Excelling in Graduate Medical Education

Excelling in Graduate Medical Education

The CCVC played an essential role in the award of a new T32 post-doctoral training grant entitled “Basic and Translational Science in Heart Failure” (T32 HL129948), which supports post-doctoral fellows (both MD and PhD) broadly interested in heart failure research (basic, clinical, and population science). A new 12-week GBS course (GBS748/GBSC739) under the auspices of this grant was initiated in the summer of 2018; this course is taught by 14 CCVC faculty, and had 12 CCVC trainees participating during its inaugural year.

Promoting Multi-disciplinary, Collaborative Research Efforts

Promoting Multi-disciplinary, Collaborative Research Efforts

The CCVC provides an important institutional mechanism for promoting basic, translational and outcomes research, as well as for drug and biomarker development in partnership with small business and industry. The newest innovations in research and investigative therapies in heart disease remain critical to attracting patients to the UAB hospital and clinics and serve to distinguish UAB from its clinical competitors.
