This grant round will offer a range of opportunities for stroke research teams across Australia to test their ideas in stroke prevention, treatment and recovery. Our grants aim to build capacity in areas of need in stroke research and support the next generation of researchers to become leaders in their field.

Engagement of people with lived experience is a core focus of Stroke Foundation’s research grants. Ensuring safe, supportive and positive engagement is paramount.

Completion of our co-designed e-learning module on how to work effectively with people with lived experience is a requirement of our grants.
