[:en]The Canadian Vascular Network (CVN) is pleased to release the results of our first ever call for Vascular Network Scholars, a matching scholarship and top-up award for graduate and post-doctoral students working on projects related to vascular health. All our applicants were highly qualified and decisions were difficult. It was very exciting to have such a competitive contest in our first year! The funded trainees are conducting research on a broad range of topics related to vascular health, from vascular aging processes and their relation to cognitive decline to the investigation and inventory of models of care and practitioner guideline use for acute and chronic vascular related conditions in Canada.
Congratulations to all our 2014 CVN Scholars!
