Pilot Research Grant

Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology

The Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN) is pleased to offer the SVIN Pilot Research Grant.

SVIN recognizes the need to stimulate investigator-initiated research programs in the field of vascular and interventional neurology. The SVIN Pilot Research Grant provides a one-year source of funding to help investigators generate preliminary data that will lead to additional funding from other national agencies or foundations. All new or innovative projects with sound medical/scientific justification will be considered under this call for proposals.

This pilot program provides up to $25,000 in grant support dependent on training level ($10,000 for trainee and $25,000 for junior applicants) and anticipates funding up to 5 projects every year. The scientific review panel reserves the right to limit the number of awards based on the priorities of the society. Priority will be given to research proposals that have a high probability of generating preliminary data for future substantial grant applications. A scientific panel will review the applications, and the final award will be subject to approval by the SVIN Board.

Pilot Research Grant Timeline

May 1, 2025: Grant application opens
August 1, 2025: Full grant submission deadline
November 19-22, 2025: Award announcement at SVIN 2025 Annual Meeting
January 1, 2026: Anticipated funding start date

Grant Submission

Upload your proposal with required documents through the SVIN Portal. Proposals must adhere to the guidelines and must be submitted by Monday, August 1, 2025 4:59 CT.
Only complete proposals will be considered. A complete proposal is comprised of the following sections:
- Title
- Applicant Information
- Project Summary
- Specific Aims
- Research Design/Strategy
- References Cited
- Study Timeline
- Budget
- Curriculum Vitae
- Letter of Support (if trainee applicant only)
To submit your proposal, please click the 'Submit' button. You will be unable to submit if you have not provided all the required information. Any missing information will be listed on the screen. If your submission is successful, you will receive a confirmation message on the screen, and a confirmation email will be sent to the applicant.
Once the proposal is submitted to SVIN, no changes can be made.
After the proposal deadline, no supplementary material (preliminary data, new publications, etc.) will be accepted.
If human subjects are to be enrolled, the candidate must submit a copy of the IRB letter of approval prior to receiving the funds. However, such letter is not required with the initial proposal application.

Application Preparation

Required documents may be prepared prior to submitting the application in the SVIN Portal. Adherence is mandatory to the page limits and format requirements below. No applicant should have an advantage over other applicants by providing more content in his/her application by using smaller, denser type.
Font: Prepare the proposal using Arial or Helvetica typeface in black font color. Font size in each final document must be at least 11 points (or larger).
Paper Size and Page Margins: Final documents should be formatted to be no larger than standard U.S. letter paper size (8 ½" x 11’). The final proposal should have at least one-half inch margins (top, bottom, left, right) for all pages.
Page Formatting: Please use a standard, single-column, single-spaced format for the text.
Page Numbers: All pages should be numbered in sequential order. Page numbers should appear at the bottom center part of the page.
Figures, Graphs, Diagrams, and Tables: You may use a smaller type size but all text must be in a black font color, clear and readily legible. Color can be used in figures.
General Grantsmanship Style: Use Standard American English and avoid jargon. If terms are not universally known, spell out the term the first time it is used and note the appropriate abbreviation in parentheses.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

1. 🎯 Direct Relevance to Vascular and Interventional Neurology

SVIN supports research and innovation focused on:

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment (especially thrombectomy)

Intracerebral hemorrhage, aneurysms, and vascular malformations

Endovascular devices and procedural techniques

Neuroimaging, stroke triage, and tele-neurointervention

✅ Success Predictor: A project that targets stroke, vascular pathology, or interventional innovation in neurology/neurosurgery.

2. 🧑‍⚕️ Clinician-Scientist or Early Career Focus

SVIN prioritizes:

Fellows, residents, and junior faculty (<5 years from training)

Neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroradiologists interested in stroke or neurointervention

Emerging leaders in the field pursuing academic or translational careers

✅ Success Predictor: You’re an early-career vascular neurologist or neurointerventionalist with research ambitions.

3. 🧪 Clinical and Translational Impact

Proposals with the highest likelihood of success often:

Advance real-world clinical practice

Improve patient outcomes in acute neurovascular care

Address health disparities in stroke care access or time-to-treatment

Validate new technologies, devices, or AI/telemedicine platforms

✅ Success Predictor: The project has clear clinical application or contributes meaningfully to stroke systems of care.

4. 🤝 Mentorship and Institutional Support

Competitive applicants show:

A well-defined mentorship team (especially for early-career grants)

Strong letters of support from stroke/neurointervention leaders

Access to clinical trial networks or endovascular labs

✅ Success Predictor: Robust support system + access to patients or preclinical models

5. 🌎 Engagement with SVIN Activities

Stronger applications often come from:

Active SVIN members

Presenters at SVIN Annual Meetings (abstracts, posters, case competitions)

Those involved in SVIN committees, mentorship programs, or Stroke Center collaboratives

✅ Success Predictor: Track record of SVIN involvement or contribution to the neurointerventional community

🧾 Example SVIN Grant Mechanisms and Awards

Program / Award	Audience	Purpose	Amount
SVIN Foundation Research Grants	Fellows/Junior Faculty	Pilot funding for stroke/endovascular research	~$10,000–$25,000
