Shark Tank: Hooking AFib

Description

Come see our top 3 submitters present to a panel of AHA/HRS "sharks" during a competition of research ideas related to the extensive GWTG-AFIB registry! See if their ideas will make the sharks want "more skin in the game" or say "for that reason, I'm out!" The winner of this competition will receive the AHA/HRS Bill Lewis Investigator Award plaque. Additionally, mentorship will be provided to the award winner to assist with project completion.

Learning Objectives

Identify funding opportunities available for AF research.
Recognize GWTG, AF leaders, and staff who can assist with funding requests.
