Description
Heart & Stroke’s 2027 Personnel Awards for Women’s Heart & Brain Health provide salary support to young scholars invested in women’s heart and brain health research. The awards support two career stages: early doctoral training and the postdoctoral transition toward independent research. Their aim is to jump-start research careers and spark interest in this field.
The awards are part of Heart & Stroke’s personnel award programs, which support the training, retention, and success of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular researchers in Canada. They also sit within the foundation’s broader women’s research initiative. Sex- and gender-based analysis is a required component of all research applications submitted to Heart & Stroke.
