Shark Tank 2023: Hooking AFib

Submit Your AFib Research Ideas
Have a brilliant AFib research idea? Submit it for the chance to present in front of an expert panel of "sharks" from the Heart Rhythm Society and American Heart Association during Heart Rhythm 2023 in New Orleans!
The submission deadline is 5:00 PM ET on Friday, March 3, 2023.

Have a great AFib research idea?
Submit for the chance to present it to an AHA/HRS panel of “sharks” during a competition of research ideas related to the extensive GWTG‐AFIB registry! See if your idea will make the sharks want “more skin in the game” or say, “for that reason, I’m out!”
Submitters of the three top-rated ideas will receive complimentary in-person registration* to attend Heart Rhythm 2023 in New Orleans from May 19-21, 2023, and present their idea to a panel of judges. Those being invited to present will be notified the week of April 3, 2023. Contestants must appear in person at the meeting in New Orleans. Submission instructions and review criteria can be found below.
The competition winner will receive the AHA/HRS Bill Lewis Investigator Award plaque. In addition, mentorship will be provided to the award winner to assist with the next steps of the AHA proposal process.
Prospective projects must utilize data available through the GWTG-AFib registry. To prepare your submission, reference the following:
