Call for Proposals for 2012 Spinal Cord Injury Research Projects
The Manitoba Spinal Cord Injury Research Committee (MSCIRC) is pleased
to announce that the 2012 Grants and Awards competition is now underway
and accepting applications for spinal cord injury research projects in
Manitoba.
Purpose
Grants provided through this initiative aim to increase understanding of
spinal cord function; reduce the disability related to spinal cord
injury; increase functional capacity after spinal cord injury; reduce
the incidence and effects of secondary complications after spinal cord
injury; and increase quality of life and community integration after
spinal cord injury.
Eligibility
Grant applications will only be considered from accredited educational
institutions, disability related organizations, research institutions or
members of hospital staff.
Deadline
All project applications must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. on April 23,
2012.
Application Package
All forms are available from the Canadian Paraplegic Association
(Manitoba) Inc.'s website at www.cpamanitoba.ca
<http://www.cpamanitoba.ca/> .
Inquiries
Inquiries about the application process are to be directed to:

Dear Manitoba Neuroscientists,
The Manitoba Schools Science Symposium (MSSS) is being hosted at the University of Manitoba from April 26th to April 29th. This is an event that showcases the hard work of students in Manitoba at all levels, from elementary to high school. The WCSN will continue our involvement in the MSSS again this year by offering 3 project awards related to neuroscience. We feel that this is part of our contribution to growing the neuroscience discipline at the grassroots level in Manitoba.
To make this happen, I am looking for volunteer project judges from within our membership to rank the top neuroscience-related projects. Projects will be displayed in the Max Bell Centre and judging will take place Saturday morning, April 28, from 9AM to Noon. Lunch will be provided after the judging is complete.
If this is an area or service you think you can contribute to, please reply to this email as soon as possible. Thank you!
Chris
