Stroke Association Funded Research
In 2009/10 The Stroke Association spent approximately £2.6 million on a wide range of vital research covering stroke prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, stroke support and service provision.
The Stroke Association also supports training for doctors to specialise in stroke care, and training for nurses and therapists to pursue careers in stroke research.
The Association's ability to support such research depends entirely on its fundraising success, including legacy donations. Such gifts are essential to enable us to find out more about what causes stroke, how to prevent and treat stroke, and to provide services for the hundreds of thousands of people whose lives are shattered by stroke each year.
Senior Research Training Fellowships

Development of Research Centres
In order to ensure that the volume and quality of stroke research improves it is essential that good research centres are developed. Supporting the growth of developing research centres in the UK is therefore a priority for The Stroke Association.
Junior Research Training Fellowships
The Junior Research Training Fellowships are intended primarily for nurses and therapists to study towards a post graduate qualification relevant to stroke research.
Clinical Fellowships
Until 2007, The Stroke Association awarded two Clinical Fellowships each year, to allow doctors to specialise in stroke care for one year. These fellowships aim to increase the number of doctors with a specialist knowledge of stroke, so that patients may receive improved care whilst in hospital.
