Board Action: Approval

Action Text: The Center of Excellence for Cardiovascular Disease was originally approved by the Board of Regents in 1991, but was lost from the list of approved centers. Once it was discovered that the Center was no longer officially approved by the Board of Regents, the institution submitted a request for the Center to be reauthorized as a Center of Research Excellence and to be renamed as the Cardiovascular Center of Excellence. The Board of Regents approved full authorization of the Center, designation as a Center of Research Excellence, and renaming to the Cardiovascular Center of Excellence on August 22, 2018, for a five-year period. A request for reauthorization, including designation as a center of excellence, is due August 1, 2023.
