In 2018, the Stroke Foundation is offering seed grants of up to $50,000 for early to mid-career researchers.

Seed grants are to conduct pilot or feasibility studies to inform larger, nationally competitive grant submissions, e.g. National Health & Medical Research Council project grants.

Proposals will be funded to improve access to and delivery of:

• Long term stroke recovery support (transition of care, follow-up interventions and long term support).
• High quality acute stroke care (especially aspects of care in the quality standards, access to stroke unit care, time critical treatment), i.e. translation into practice.
• Support for carers.

Preference will be given to mid-career researchers.
