Description
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards provide stipends that enable postdoctoral fellows to pursue a research program and engage with mentors as part of their training. The competition focuses on cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular health, with the objective of increasing the number of researchers and clinician-scientists in Canadian universities and research institutions devoted to these fields.
The fellowships form part of Heart & Stroke’s broader personnel award programs, which provide salary support across the research career continuum. At the postdoctoral stage, this support combines research activity with mentored development, contributing to the training, retention and success of Canada’s heart and brain health researchers.
