The Heart & Stroke Foundation Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery is a joint initiative of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Canada’s leading stroke recovery research centres. Headquartered at the University of Ottawa, the Partnership restores quality of life to people affected by stroke by harnessing the collective expertise of leading national and international stroke recovery researchers to create, share and apply new knowledge.
One of their initiatives is Stroke Engine — a site that was built with the goal of bridging the gap in knowledge translation between research findings and current clinical practice.
