Heart & Stroke and Brain Canada are supporting the 2025/26 Doctoral Personnel Awards for Indigenous Scholars in committing up to a total of $480,000. This award stems from a process of co-creation where Heart & Stroke engaged with Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples) leaders at all career stages to help inform this funding opportunity. 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. The stipends awarded will be up to $120,000 CAD ($40,000 per year for up to three (3) years) enabling Indigenous trainees to focus on their Doctoral research studies and engage with mentors as part of their training.
