JTSSF works to identify and fund a wide range of the most promising research, from basic biological science to studies addressing social and behavioral aspects of stroke prevention. JTSSF funds research proposals to provide seed money grants for projects that are important, feasible, and innovative that will ultimately lead to stroke prevention, better treatment options and increased quality of life for stroke sufferers.

Our goal is to fund as many grants as possible that have the greatest potential to make an impact on stroke occurrence and damage.

After our Scientific Advisory Board reviews and ranks grant proposals, the Board of Directors approves funding for top scoring projects.
