Purpose

The Research Networks of Excellence will focus on one of two Priority Research Areas related to women’s heart and/or brain health: (1) Risk Factors; or (2) Diagnosis & Treatment. This funding opportunity will bring together interdisciplinary, multi-institutional and multi-provincial health research teams with multiple collaborators (e.g., researchers, clinicians, people with lived and living experience (PWLLE) navigating women’s heart and/or brain health, health care providers, Indigenous Elders or Knowledge Keepers, government, policy makers, not-for-profit organizations, and industry). Together they will strive to create and mobilize knowledge that improves the health and wellness of women at risk of or living with heart and/or brain conditions, as well as their families and caregivers. The Research Networks of Excellence are expected to build on pre-existing areas of research where there is proven track record among the team of demonstrated leadership and research excellence around the Priority Research Area.
