About VCCBH

The Vermont Center for Cardiovascular and Brain Health (VCCBH) is a Phase 1 NIH-funded Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) building sustainable research programs with exceptional early career faculty.

Since the Center’s founding in August 2020, we have leveraged $12 million in NIH funding and millions in institutional financial support to recruit, support, and retain early career faculty. 

Our growing Center has funded 9 Research Project Leaders and 7 Pilot Project Leaders and has supported 55 individuals in our Pipeline Investigator Program. We collaborate with 13 UVM departments and provide mentoring and core resources to our investigators.
