3. Research Committee Working Groups

The Research Committee has commenced formation of a number of working groups to advance activities and projects. These include: 1) Research Training, 2) Research and stroke funding versus burden of disease, 3) Young stroke burden of disease and 4) Global burden of disease collaboration. Once the structure and scope of the working group is finalized, we will be inviting WSO members with special interest and expertise in these areas to join.
