The Heart and Stroke Foundation Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery (CPSR) was recently invited to submit a proposal for funding to the federal Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE) program. The full proposal will support CPSR’s activities in research, training, and knowledge translation. If successful, the proposal will result in a substantial increase in funding for stroke recovery activities in Canada over five years, beginning in 2019. The purpose of this call for Letters of Intent is to generate a suite of research projects that will be included in CPSR’s proposal being submitted to the NCE on July 19, 2018.
Letters of Intent will be due by 5:00 pm EDT on Monday, April 16, 2018. Please send submissions by e-mail to CPSR Executive Director, Katie Lafferty: katie@canadianstroke.ca.
The CPSR External Scientific Advisory Committee will review each project based upon the following criteria: 1) Excellence of the Research Approach, 2) Strategic Fit, and 3) Impact. All three areas will be weighted equally. High-scoring projects will be included in the CPSR’s application to the federal government in July 2018. If CPSR is successful in its application, a full proposal will be requested of applicants who submitted successful Letters of Intent in December 2018 for funding starting April 1, 2019 – March 31 2021.
