Scottish Heart and Arterial Risk Prevention (SHARP) are inviting applications for the 2023 round of the SHARP Research Project Grants. SHARP has a strong presence in the areas of medical education and scientific symposia. The society has a rich history and association with Cardiovascular Research in Scotland and is keen to actively re-engage in this area. A Research Sub-Group was recently established and tasked with exploring options for the society to undertake or support a limited package of research activity in line with the charity’s aims and available funding. The value in supporting research was believed to be (a) to promote the profile of SHARP more widely and use this involvement as a platform to increase the society’s visibility, (b) to generate clinically meaningful research outputs that will potentially benefit the people of Scotland, and (c) to act as an expansion of our educational activities to physicians, AHPs and patients.
