Research Resources

HeartShare Study Connection

CABANA-HF Fellows gain a unique advantage through the trial's connection to the HeartShare Study. This partnership provides access to a rich, shared data ecosystem designed to accelerate discovery in heart failure research.

HeartShare offers additional data resources, collaborative research opportunities, and expanded publication pathways—giving fellows a head start on building an independent research career.

HeartShare Study

A collaborative data-sharing platform enabling fellows and investigators to pursue secondary analyses and novel research questions beyond the primary CABANA-HF trial endpoints.
