Research project and programme grants

Research project and programme grants are awarded to doctors, professors, research fellows, therapists, psychologists and nurses at universities and hospitals across the UK.

Before The Stroke Association funds any research all award applications undergo a very strict and thorough process of review and adjudication by the Research Awards Committee This is to ensure that stroke patients and their carers receive maximum benefit from the research, and that the generous donations, which support research, are wisely spent.

What is a programme grant?

The Stroke Association identified three areas of stroke research where more answers are urgently needed: Stroke Prevention, Stroke in Ethnic Minorities and the Psychological Aspects of Stroke. Researchers were then invited to apply for long-term programme grants lasting for five to 10 years to carry out research on these topics.
