Description: |
The Azrieli Foundation and Brain Canada are happy to announce the launch of the Early-Career Capacity Building Grant program. Supported by the Canada Brain Research Fund, the general purpose of the Early-Career Capacity Building Grant program is to accelerate novel and transformative research that will fundamentally change our understanding of nervous system function and dysfunction and their impact on health. The goal is to reduce the social and economic burden of neurological and mental health problems by prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment. Projects should represent new lines of research and be distinct from other research projects conducted by the investigator. This competition encourages innovative, unorthodox and speculative proposals. It also encourages early-career investigators to capitalize on existing platforms and data repositories to create innovative and sustainable research programs.
The research topic will focus on the fundamental properties and mechanisms of the brain and nervous system. Please visit the sponsor's website for full details. |
