a.
Focus on Stroke 9
The Focus on Stroke
initiative aims to build stroke research capacity in Canada. The emphasis of
the ninth round is to encourage research in the later themes (i.e., clinical,
health services/policy, and/or population health) and support research
training of heath professionals (e.g., nurses, occupational therapists,
pharmacists, physiotherapists, speech therapists ect.).
Funding priority will be
given to highly rated applicants whose research is 60% or more in the later
themes: clinical, health services/policy, or population health. A limited
amount of funds is available to support proposals with a basic biomedical
focus.
The Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Canada, the CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory
Health, and the Canadian Stroke Network are proud to support this training
initiative.
Application deadline:
