The act would establish the Heart Security Foundation as a federally chartered nonprofit that is separate from the federal government. Its purpose would be to raise private funds and support U.S. cardiovascular research, with a focus on biomarkers linked to early-onset heart events. A board appointed by the NIH Director would oversee the foundation, which would publish annual reports and have independent financial audits.
The foundation could support research institutions, but it would not provide health care or insurance. The act does not describe direct services for individuals.
The foundation could accept private donations and apply for federal research grants. The bill does not state specific funding amounts. It directs the NIH Director to help establish the foundation, including providing for its initial quarters, equipment, and staff.
