Foundation for Accelerated Vascular Research

The Foundation for Accelerated Vascular Research (FAVR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the treatment and prevention of vascular diseases through innovative research and education. Originally founded as the Pacific Vascular Research Foundation, the organization focuses on clinical studies, physician training, and the development of new surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. FAVR collaborates with academic institutions and medical centers to accelerate the translation of laboratory findings into clinical practice. Their work primarily addresses conditions such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and peripheral artery disease. The foundation also supports the publication of specialized medical literature and the hosting of symposia for vascular health professionals.
