Description
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada’s Grants-in-Aid program provides operating funds to support important, novel, and impactful research in the fields of heart disease and stroke. The program is open to researchers at all career stages and supports projects across four health research themes: basic biomedical, clinical, health services/systems, and social, cultural, environmental, and population health. There are targeted streams, including a dedicated Indigenous Research Stream for Indigenous-led projects, and a separate New Investigator Award for early-career researchers (salary support only). The program aims to generate new scientific knowledge that informs prevention, treatment, and recovery strategies, ultimately improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health for Canadians.
