The Cardiovascular Sciences [CVS] IRG will consider research applications that employ basic investigations, translational approaches and patient-oriented studies to focus on the development, physiology, and pathophysiology of the heart and circulatory systems. Study sections are organized around themes of development, muscle contraction including cardiac hypertrophy and failure, cardiovascular electrophysiology and arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia and infarction, vascular hemodynamics and hypertension, neural and integrative systems physiology, inflammation and atherosclerosis, and vascular cell and molecular biology. Investigators may employ a range of approaches that include genetics, genomics and proteomics, molecular, cell, and computational biology, biochemistry, biophysics and bioengineering, imaging, analyses of model organisms, and human studies.
The following Study Sections are included within the CVS IRG:
