A TIME FOR CHANGE FOUNDATION TRIAL
When prosecutors walked out of the impeachment trial to protest the decision to prevent the opening of an envelope which would reveal damaging evidence, people used texting to encourage citizens to mass in the streets to oust Estrada. By 2001, texting played an important role in the ouster of then President Joseph Estrada, when corruption allegations resulted in his impeachment trial in the Senate. In 1998, texting became popular in the Philippines, which later earned the undisputed title of “texting capital of the world.” During the 1986 People Power Revolution against President Marcos, cellphones did not yet exist the late dictator was toppled by activists using radio broadcasts, placards, and fliers.

After those 6 months, the shortlisted projects will be peer-reviewed and the winning research programme recommended by an expert advisory panel. Over 6 months, they will crystallise their ideas into final proposals, with access to seed funding to bring people together and conduct any early research that could help convince us that they have the answers we’re looking for. To make sure that we can truly put our faith (and your donations) in the winner of the award, the outline proposals will first be shortlisted to identify the most promising projects. Some of the most important research shows that certain things don’t work or that a treatment is unnecessary.

Not all research is successful, of course. We don’t expect researchers to come up with a cure for all heart and circulatory diseases but we do expect the results to transform the lives of a few, or provide a smaller but important change for many. Whatever it is, all we ask is that you think big. Some teams might bring together expertise and technologies from a number of fields (maybe AI and cardiology or genome editing and stem cell research). The proposals can also address any heart or circulatory disease, and in any way. The winning team can come from any country, sector or discipline, working on a level that is above and beyond traditional research schemes to achieve a truly revolutionary breakthrough in any heart or circulatory disease. This ensures the ideas are truly transformative, are milestone-led, foster international and inter-disciplinary collaboration, and cover the sort of scale and scope that couldn’t achieved without this level of funding. In order to be considered, all proposals will need to meet our judging criteria. £30 million global challengeįor the first time ever, we are launching a £30m global challenge to tackle the suffering and devastation caused by heart and circulatory diseases. But now we think the time is right for a radical approach.

We fund research projects pitched to us by leaders and bright stars in the field of UK cardiovascular research. Powered entirely by charitable donations, the BHF is the largest independent funder of heart and circulatory research in Europe, and one of the largest in the world. Frighteningly, the World Health Organization expects this to rise to 23 million by 2030. That is around 18 million people dying from these diseases each year. Heart and circulatory diseases cause 1 in 3 deaths, globally. Our history is the story of the fight against heart and circulatory diseases.Įven though we’ve made huge progress, the burden continues to rise. We funded the research that proved heart attacks are caused by a blood clot in a coronary artery, supported the professor that developed life-changing surgery for children born with heart defects and worked with the clinicians who showed that ACE inhibitors can help prevent heart failure after a heart attack.
