Description:

The HSF Grant-in-Aid (GIA) program provides operating funds to support important, pertinent, novel research in the areas of heart disease and 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. Research is supported across the four health research themes: basic biomedical, clinical, health services and systems, Social, Cultural, Environmental and Population Health.

GIA applicants may submit only one grant application (new or renewal) to the 2018/19 GIA competition as either Principal or Co-Principal Investigator. Applicants may hold up to two H&S funded GIAs as Principal and/or Co-Principal Investigator at any time.
