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/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.
Applications for Renewal A grantee wishing to renew an active grant typically makes an application for renewal during the final year of the active grant. If a grantee applies for a renewal earlier than this, the grantee immediately forfeits all remaining years of the active grant, except the current year.
Eligibility
Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in research environments enhances excellence, innovation and creativity. Heart & Stroke is committed to excellence through equity and encourages applicants from diverse and equity deserving groups to apply to our funding opportunities. Heart & Stroke encourages Principal Investigators (PI) to integrate EDI considerations in selection of members of the research team.
General
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. The date of first faculty appointment will be based on the date listed in the Common CV (i.e., under Employment). Please ensure your Common CV is updated and correctly identifies a valid appointment. 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.
For any application with a PI and co-PI, should the PI be deemed ineligible the entire application will be withdrawn from the competition.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).
