Since having a stroke at 39 years old, David Dansereau has become an advocate for proactive community stroke education and awareness. He has used his own stroke recovery journey and prior training and experience as a physical therapist and nutritionist to develop innovative home-based rehabilitation programs for stroke recovery, as well as an early intervention kid’s campaign for stroke prevention and awareness. He has served as a contributing columnist for Stroke Smart Magazine and is a stroke spokesperson for Tedy's Team of the American Stroke Association and the former vice president of the PFO Research Foundation, a patient-led initiative for better education about patent foramen ovale and its related conditions. He also created a website to provide resources including evidence-based health technologies and digital tools to keep stroke survivors and their caregivers on the right path to recovery.
Ambassador Interests
Health Conditions
These are the broad terms we use to categorize our funded research studies; specific diseases or conditions are included within the appropriate larger category. Note: not all of our funded projects focus on a single disease or condition; some touch on multiple diseases or conditions, research methods, or broader health system interventions. Such projects won’t be listed by a primary disease/condition and so won’t appear if you use this filter tool to find them.
Populations
PCORI is interested in research that seeks to better understand how different clinical and health system options work for different people. These populations are frequently studied in our portfolio or identified as being of interest by our stakeholders.
