Dr. Deanna Saylor has been awarded an American Heart Association Rapid Impact Research Award for her project, Closing Gaps in Stroke Diagnosis and Prevention Among People With HIV. The two\u2011year, $100,000 award supports innovative research with the potential to quickly improve cardiovascular and brain health outcomes.<\/p>\n
People with HIV face a higher risk of stroke, yet gaps remain in how stroke is recognized, diagnosed, and prevented in this population. Dr. Saylor\u2019s research aims to address these gaps by improving understanding of stroke risk and advancing strategies for earlier detection and prevention.<\/p>\n
The Rapid Impact Research Award supports early\u2011 and mid\u2011career investigators whose work aligns with the American Heart Association\u2019s mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives. Dr. Saylor\u2019s project also advances the Association\u2019s commitment to health equity by focusing on a population that has been historically underrepresented in stroke research.<\/p>\n
The award period begins April 1, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
