Approximately $28 million is provided annually through provincial Heart and Stroke Foundations to support research operating costs through Grants-in-Aid. These costs may include laboratory supplies, technicians, and some equipment.
Research is supported across the four health research themes: basic biomedical; clinical; health services and health systems; health of populations

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada Research Scholarship is a salary award intended for applicants with a masters and/or PhD and with credential(s) in a regulated accredited health discipline. The objective is to attract and foster cardiovascular or cerebrovascular investigators from a variety of health disciplines. Each application is considered to be a joint submission by the applicant and the identified mentor.

The New Investigator award is a salary award to support new investigators who have demonstrated excellence in their pre and post doctoral training and wish to establish their own research laboratory.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada is now offering a new Distinguished Clinician Scientist award as an integral part of the New Investigator competition. Candidates applying for the Distinguished Clinician Scientist award will also be considered in the regular pool of New Investigator applicants. This award, which is partnered this year with the CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health and AstraZeneca Canada Inc., will be offered to the highest ranked eligible clinician in the New Investigator competition. The Distinguished Clinician Scientist award carries a higher stipend than the New Investigator award, plus an additional research allowance.
