As part of the commitment to transform women’s heart and brain health, Heart & Stroke is launching the 2025/26 Heart & Stroke Doctoral 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 Doctoral award recipients to pursue their program of research and engage with mentors as part of their training.
