Description: |
The Career Investigator award of HSFO is awarded to individuals with an MD, PhD, or equivalent degree, who are established and recognized independent research workers in the field of cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular disease who wish to make research in these fields a full-time career. Such individuals would be expected to have achieved national recognition at the time of the first application and clear evidence of this national stature should be provided. Accordingly, applicants should provide letters attesting to this. It is expected that a Career Investigator applicant can demonstrate that their overall research program and research plan has a cardiovascular/cerebrovascular focus. It would also be anticipated that their standing in the cardiovascular/cerebrovascular field would be that of high recognition demonstrated partly by participation in Heart and Stroke Foundation sponsored activities including peer-review committees and/or local, regional or national educational efforts. At the point of first application, no more than ten years should have elapsed from completion of research training (first faculty appointment) and receipt of this award. The award is intended for individuals who have just completed the 5-year New Investigator award or equivalent research experience. Applications from more senior individuals will be considered at the first renewal level (having achieved international recognition for their research) and the length of support will be at the discretion of the committee. Before a Career Investigator award can be considered, a letter must be provided by the Dean, the Chairperson of the Department and where applicable, the Chief of Service of the hospital, stating that the applicant will have 75% of his/her time allocated to research. |
