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 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. Research is supported across the four health research themes:- Basic Biomedical
- Clinical
- Health Services/Systems
- Social, Cultural, Environmental and Population Health
- GIA applicants are allowed to submit a maximum of one grant application (new or renewal) to the 2019/20 GIA competition as either Principal or Co-Principal Investigator. Applicants are allowed to hold no more than two Heart & Stroke funded GIAs as Principal and/or Co-Principal Investigator at any one time. If an applicant holds ongoing funding as Principal and/or Co-Principal Investigator for two GIAs that are not scheduled to be completed within the coming funding year, no new applications can be submitted.
- Applicants are required to integrate sex and gender-based analysis (SGBA) in their research design. Any application that does not incorporate SGBA must provide a rationale why it would not be relevant to the project. All applicants are strongly encouraged to complete CIHR’s Institute of Gender and Health training modules: http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/49347.html .
Eligibility
Principal Investigators (and Co-PI) 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. Any applicant in an adjunct position at an academic institution must submit a letter from their dean/chair/division director to clarify their specific appointment, i.e. amount of protected time available, local infrastructure in place.
