About us
Over the past 60 years, the Heart Foundation is proud to have supported major innovations and advancements that have helped reshape the healthcare landscape.
However, there is so much more to be done.

Committee and Secretariat Support : Provide operational and strategic support to the SA CVRN Executive and Rising Stars Sub-Committees, including secretariat duties such as minute-taking, action items, and reporting.
Grant Management : Develop, promote, and administer Heart Foundation SA research grants for CVRN members through transparent processes.
Event Leadership : Lead the planning and execution of key events like the Annual Cardiovascular Showcase, Emerging Leaders Symposium, and capacity-building workshops for researchers.
Stakeholder Engagement : Build and maintain strong relationships with CVRN members, research funding bodies, institutions, local health networks, and government agencies.
Collaboration and Opportunity Development : Identify collaboration and funding opportunities across clinical, research, industry, and government sectors, and coordinate activities with other cardiovascular research networks.
Member Onboarding and Database Management : Coordinate the induction of new members and maintain the integrity of the SA CVRN member database.
Communications and Representation : Support digital and social media efforts to raise the profile of SA CVRN and its members and represent the Network at external meetings and forums.
