Research Fellowships

Please will you send a gift today to help us to train talented, dedicated scientists to specialise in stroke research and provide essential scientific breakthroughs in the future?

Research Fellowships are grants awarded to budding scientists to provide the training and support they need to become pioneering stroke researchers in the future. These Fellowships are vital in helping to ensure research continues into stroke. As Dr David Werring says:

“As Consultant Neurologist at the National Institute of Neurology, it is my privilege to work alongside some of the most promising new researchers in the UK. Their intelligence, enthusiasm and thirst for ideas are inspirational. These people – scientists and researchers in the early stages of their careers – hold the key to advancing our understanding of stroke treatment, prevention and rehabilitation in years to come.

That’s why I wholeheartedly support The Stroke Association’s Fellowships – grants which give these budding scientists the training and support they need to become the pioneering researchers of the future.

I was fortunate to receive a Fellowship from The Stroke Association in the formative stages of my career as a stroke researcher. It meant I could take part in clinical activities relating to all aspects of stroke; from attending clinics, to looking after stroke patients during their rehabilitation, to the beginnings of my research in brain imaging.

Without the Fellowship it simply would not have been possible for me to gain the wide-ranging knowledge to develop as a specialist stroke researcher contributing to, and now leading, a number of important scientific studies.”

We believe it is absolutely essential that The Stroke Association continues to fund Research Fellowships.

For this to happen The Stroke Association needs your support. Please will you make a donation to help us achieve our £70,000 target?

Or you can set up a Direct Debit which can help to ensure that The Stroke Association continues to fund the stroke researchers of the future.

Thank you for your support.
