ProCOR's Louise Lown "Heart Hero" Award APPLICATION DEADLINE: 30 APRIL 2007
ProCOR's newly established Louise Lown "Heart Hero" Award recognizes individuals or groups who are working to promote heart health through innovative, preventive approaches in developing countries or other low-resource settings. Examples of eligible initiatives include community programs promoting physical activity, nutrition or tobacco control; population-based interventions reducing diabetes, hypertension and obesity; patient-focused clinical programs increasing access to screening, identification and control of risk factors; advocacy and policy activities; relevant research; and resource development and dissemination.
The application deadline for the 2007 award is 30 April 2007 and the first winner will be announced in June. The award prize is US$1,000.
Help us recognize efforts that often escape the notice of global media by forwarding information about the award to your colleagues and to other networks!
