This is where a great stroke leader would shine, first by creating a stroke strategy and tying research proposals to that strategy which should be able to shake money out of foundations wanting to solve all the problems in stroke. That does mean getting away from this fucking 'happy talk' that everything in stroke is hunky-dory. But we have jackshit for stroke leaders and have for decades.

The Neuro Funding Rollercoaster
Editor’s Note: Compared to the money dedicated to cancer and cardiology, funding for neuroscience research has lagged behind for decades. But things are starting to change. From the White House’s Brain Initiative to the Ice Water Challenge for ALS to some recent sizeable gifts to universities, money for brain research appears to be on the rise. But, as our author explains, research and development funding from private and corporate lenders for cognitive neuroscience—an area that he has spent years tracking—is also vital to the quality of life for millions of people.More at link.
