FARA Named Research Awards

FARA's named research awards bundle three donor-endowed routes into one annual spring cycle. The Keith Michael Andrus Cardiac Award supports cardiac work, the Kyle Bryant Translational Research Award supports pre-clinical and translational development, and the Bronya J. Keats Research Collaboration Award supports multi-institutional projects. The three awards run at $125,000 per year, $200,000 per year, and $175,000 per year respectively, each for one to two years. The shared timing is consistent: letter of intent by 15 February and full application by 15 April, with the Keats award explicitly favoring international collaborations that can show real synergy and a clear reason for multiple groups to work together. This family is built for teams with a narrow, well-matched theme rather than a broad proposal. Cardiac physiology fits Andrus, therapeutic and biomarker development fits Bryant, and multi-site collaboration fits Keats, especially when the institutions involved can show that the partnership is doing something none of them could do alone and that the named track is the right scientific home.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
