The proceeds of the PJ Schafer Memorial Golf Tournament support research at The Johns Hopkins Heart Institute and The Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease to fund research into the prevention of sudden cardiac death and premature heart disease. Following the tournament each year a committee of Johns Hopkins cardiologists selects a talented young cardiologist who has recently begun his or her career in one of these areas of cardiovascular research. The 2011 recipient of the PJ Schafer Memorial Research Grant is Dr. Oscar Cingolani. His research is focused at exploring novel cardiac proteins and molecular pathways that play a key role in heart attacks and the transition to heart failure.

The Johns Hopkins Heart Institute wants to thanks everyone for their generous support of The PJ Schafer Memorial Heart Research Grant.
