N1 - Funding Information:
The competition for public cardiovascular research grants has recently increased. Technological and big data companies, such as Verily Life Sciences (formerly Google Life Sciences), are teaming up with scientists and physicians and competing for these public research grants. Therefore, independent researchers are facing increasing competition for public research grant support and ultimately may need to seek alternative funding sources. Crowdfunding, a financing method of raising funds online by pooling together small donations from the online community to support a specific initiative, seems to have significant potential. However, the feasibility of crowdfunding for cardiovascular research remains unknown. Therefore, our goal was to explore the feasibility of crowdfunding for the support of cardiovascular research.
