The Heart Rhythm Society Research Fellowships
"That award was crucial in my career and basically cemented my desire to become an electrophysiologist who wants to practice EP with a serious research lab to do translational research." Rishi Arora, MD
The Society is no longer accepting applications for the 2012-2013 Research Fellowships.
Each year, the Heart Rhythm Society provides Research Fellowships in cardiac electrophysiology. These Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships include a one year stipend of $50,000 and complimentary registration to the Heart Rhythm Society's Annual Scientific Sessions.

- May not be enrolled in a graduate or medical school by June in the year of award activation
- May not have completed three cumulative years of postmedical school or graduate school research
- Sponsor must be a member of the Heart Rhythm Society by activation of award
Proposed research must be relevant to the goals and aims of the Heart Rhythm Society. Appropriate fields of study include epidemiological, community, clinical and basic investigations within the general area of cardiac electrophysiology. Applicant should be intent on pursuing a career in independent research and interested in additional training under the supervision of a sponsor or mentor prior to a career in independent research. It is expected that fellowship recipients use this award to promote their long-term goals in the field. Applicants must devote at least 80 percent of their effort to research or activities directly related to the proposed research.
"$20,000 helped me bring in $10 million — not only to my lab, my research, but to the biomedical research industry. I paid with that money salaries for young people that I supported until they got their fellowships." Mario Delmar, MD
