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.
