Grant Overview

The US Virgin Islands faces significant capacity constraints in its healthcare system, including a shortage of specialized healthcare professionals and limited healthcare infrastructure. The territory's high-risk populations, including those with lower socioeconomic status and limited access to healthcare services, face significant barriers to adopting healthy lifestyle changes and accessing cardiovascular healthcare services.

To be successful, applicants will need to demonstrate a deep understanding of the territory's healthcare workforce composition and infrastructure, as well as its cultural and linguistic nuances. The US Virgin Islands' existing healthcare infrastructure, including its hospitals and community health centers, provides a foundation for implementing public health campaigns and community-based programs to promote cardiovascular health.

The funding opportunity for innovative work in cardiovascular and related medical care could support the US Virgin Islands' efforts to promote cardiovascular health through public health campaigns and community-based programs. The territory's participation in selected medical and innovation events in North America and the Caribbean could also facilitate knowledge transfer and capacity building.
