Funding Value and Duration
The Budget Review Committee (BRC) is Heart & Stroke’s mechanism for ensuring informed budget
review of all potentially funded Grant-in-Aid (GIA) projects. The BRC provides support and advice on
budgetary items during the budget review process and for the duration of Heart & Stroke funding (as
necessary).
Budget Request: 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.
Overview
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 Criteria
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.
The date of first faculty appointment will be based on the date listed in the Common CV under
Employment. Please ensure your Common CV is updated and correctly identifies a valid
appointment including that it is full-time under the employment section.
For any application with a PI and co-PI, should the PI be deemed ineligible the entire application will
be withdrawn from the competition. There will be no appeal process for applications deemed
ineligible.
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. Failure to include this explanatory letter with all required components will
result in withdrawal of the application (without appeal).
