Overview

As part of the commitment to transform women’s heart and brain health, Heart & Stroke is launching the 2024/25 Heart & Stroke Postdoctoral Personnel Awards for Women’s Heart and/or Brain Health. The objective of the competition is to increase the number of researchers and clinician-scientists in Canadian universities and research institutions devoted specifically to women’s heart and/or brain health and, in so doing, expand research initiatives in this field. In the context of this award, heart and/or brain health research refers to research addressing heart conditions, stroke, and vascular cognitive impairment. The stipends awarded will enable Postdoctoral Fellows to pursue their program of research and engage with mentors as part of their training.

Women include cisgender and transgender women, and trans and non-binary people with shared health experiences but who may not identify as women.
