Funding, News and Announcements

The Grant-in-Aid (GIA) program provides operating funds to support important, pertinent, novel research in the areas of heart disease and 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.

Heart & Stroke will not approve budgets exceeding $400K for a 4-year term,

$300K for a 3-year term, $200k for a 2-year term or $100K for a 1-year term. For requested terms of greater than 1 year there is not an annual cap on requests. However, please be advised that budget request , including term, must be fully justified or reductions may be applied in the final allocation of the award.

Researchers at all career stages are encouraged to apply to the GIA program. 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 of application.
