The Vermont Center for Cardiovascular and Brain Health (VCCBH) is an NIH funded Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) that provides a platform to build sustainable research programs built on the exceptional potential of early career faculty. We study the vital health problems facing society.

This year we awarded funding to two new Research Project Leaders and two $180,000 FIRE Grants. Faculty garnered $14 million in new grants since 2020, and are publishing in major journals like Nature Communications and Diabetes Care.
