 e diseases\, the World Health Organization predicts that\, by 2030\, the a
 nnual number of deaths from cardiovascular disease will rise to almost 24 
 million.\n \nIn order to find transformative research solutions to this g
 rowing global burden\, the foundation has launched a global competition: t
 he Big Beat Challenge. The foundation is looking for transformational solu
 tions to a significant problem in heart and circulatory disease. Proposed 
 projects must look beyond incremental gains and accelerates research break
 throughs that could transform lives across the globe.\n \nWho can apply:\
 n\n	The challenge is open to international multi-disciplinary teams of sci
 entists\, clinicians\, innovators and entrepreneurs anywhere in the world.
  \n	Applicants can come from any domain\, e.g. academia\, industry\, techn

 ch award of max. £30 million. However\, depending on the quality of the a
 pplications received\, the foundation may decide to fund more than one awa
 rd in this round of funding.\nEligible costs: personnel costs (excl. the P
 I’s salary if he/she is salaried at an institution)\, research-related c
 osts and\, for applicants outside the UK\, 10% overheads.\n \nDuration: 4

 e proposal on the online application portal\, generate a PDF and submit it

 ation may be shared with potential donors for the purpose of raising funds
  for the Big Beat Challenge.\n	Proposals are sent to independent peer revi
