Personnel Awards for Indigenous Scholars

Brain Canada and Heart & Stroke are pleased to announce the launch of the 2026/27 Personnel Awards for Indigenous Scholars.

The objective of the competition is to increase the number of highly-qualified Indigenous trainees across Canada committed to working in the fields of heart and/or brain research.

In the context of this award, heart and/or brain health research encompasses research addressing conditions, including neurological, that affect the cardiovascular and/or cerebrovascular health of people living in Canada. This could include research focused on prevention, treatment, and/or recovery related to heart conditions, stroke, vascular cognitive impairment, and mental health in relation to these conditions.
