About This Cause
Vascular Cures is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization representing the millions of patients with Vascular Disease. We are a leading organization working exclusively on breakthrough innovations to improve the lives of people with diseases of the vascular system outside the heart. We focus on creating long-term, shared resources to accelerate development of new treatments and improve patient outcomes. Vascular disease is an abnormal condition of the blood vessels. Arteries and veins are the crucial highways of the body, bringing life-giving nutrients to all our organs and limbs – making every breath and heartbeat count. Vascular diseases include atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease (PAD), stroke, aneurysms, and hypertension among others. Although deaths from heart attacks are declining, there is an epidemic of vascular disease, in part due to aging and skyrocketing diabetes and obesity. PAD alone affects 200 million people worldwide and increased by 25% in the last decade. Vascular Cures is transforming vascular health by being a catalyst for collaboration. Traditional competition wastes decades of patient lives and billions of dollars. We are accelerating results through a three-pronged approach. We focus on people, as well as research projects. Through our early career development awards, Wylie Scholars go on to have a lifetime of impact through research, clinical practice, and mentoring. These awards enable them to achieve follow on research funding - averaging a 16:1 return on our investment. As a nonprofit without proprietary interests, Vascular Cures is able to establish multi-specialty, multi-stakeholder discussions and the development of collaborative solutions without a stake in the outcome – other than the benefit of patients. Vascular Innovation and Research Summits bring together stakeholders across vascular health for shared brainstorming about better ways to collaboratively solve unmet patient needs. Driving collaboration across research centers and leveraging resources to broadly advance science are centerpieces of the Vascular Cures research portfolio. The Collaborative Patient-Centered Research (CPCR) grants fund multi-institutional high-impact projects that create shareable research assets and generate milestones within two years.
