Description
Heart & Stroke’s Grants-in-Aid (GIA) program provides operating funds for important, pertinent, and novel research in heart disease and stroke. It encourages discovery, exploration, and innovation across basic biomedical, clinical, health services/systems, and social, cultural, environmental, and population health research. The goal is to generate findings that improve Canadians’ cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health through prevention, treatment, and recovery. Researchers at all career stages are encouraged to apply.
The Indigenous Research Stream supports Indigenous-led heart and/or brain health research grounded in Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Doing. Cardiovascular or cerebrovascular projects must be culturally grounded and community-driven, advance Indigenous knowledge and data, and uphold the sovereignty and wisdom of Indigenous Peoples throughout the research process.
