By initiative of the board of directors (together with the research department), SOLACI is launching a research grant aimed at improving knowledge and access to endovascular treatments in Latin America.

Total grant fund: USD 15,000

The 2025 SOLACI Research Grant is open to any LATAM center wishing to participate. A committee composed of the SOLACI Board of Directors and representatives from SOLACI Research will evaluate the submitted proposals and determine which one(s) will be selected to receive the grant.

To be eligible for the grant, applicants must submit their proposals, which must meet three inclusion criteria:

• The research must take place in Latin America.
• Its objective must be either to improve knowledge (e.g., “Prevalence of bicuspid valve disease in patients eligible for TAVI in XXX region”) or to improve access (e.g., “Implementation of an infarction network in rural areas”).
• The proposal must be feasible. This means that results must be presented within two years of receiving the grant and the budget must not exceed USD 15,000.
