HCXF Research Hub

The American Heart Association is at the forefront of supporting research that explores the power of food as a cornerstone of health. Our research initiatives are designed to generate robust evidence on the effectiveness of nutrition-based interventions across diverse populations. Through our research hub, we aim to highlight the innovative work of our grantees and provide a comprehensive resource for researchers, policymakers and the public.

The American Heart Association has awarded research grants to fund 23 pilots and 2 secondary data analyses that explore various approaches for how food is medicine interventions can help to treat, manage and prevent diet-related diseases. These studies are critical in generating the evidence needed to validate food-based interventions and inform clinical practice.
