All funded projects

cartell MaratóIn the 2007 Marató, which dealt with cardiovascular diseases, 159 projects were presented and these were assessed by 145 scientists specialising in these diseases, according to their quality, methodology and relevance. This assessment was managed by the Catalan Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Research, of the Catalan Ministry of Health.
