Description

The Heart & Stroke Grant-in-Aid (GIA) program provides operating funds to support important, pertinent, novel research in the areas of heart disease and/or stroke.  GIA funding promotes research discovery, exploration and innovation across all health research themes.  Knowledge gained from scientific findings contributes to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health of Canadians through prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Eligibility

Principal Investigators (and Co-PIs) must have a full-time academic or faculty appointment (i.e., at minimum, at the Assistant or Clinical Assistant Professor level) in Canada at the time the application is submitted. Applicants holding lecturer/clinical scholar of similar university appointments that are of lower tier than Assistant Professor appointments are not eligible to apply as PI and co-PI.

Applicants holding adjunct appointments at an academic institution must submit a letter from their dean/chair/division director to clarify that through their specific appointment they are accorded protected time for research. The letter is required to quantify the amount of protected time available, their access to research infrastructure and their access to other resources necessary to conduct the proposed research study.

Funding is available for 1 to 4 years at a maximum of $100,000 per year.
