Morehouse School of Medicine Cardiovascular
Research Institute (CVRI)

The Morehouse School of Medicine Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) was established in July 1999 as a Center of Research Excellence under the direction of Dr. Gary H. Gibbons. The CVRI is funded in part by a grant from the NIH National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities and the NIH Heart, Lung and Blood Institute program to develop cardiovascular research centers at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The Institute is a multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary organization that transcends traditional academic departmental structures to focus on advancing cardiovascular research and education.
