Dear Colleagues,
The Canadian Brain Research Strategy (CBRS) is a pan-Canadian effort to
forge a unified strategy for Canadian brain research over the next decade
and beyond. You may see more about this at www.canadianbrain.ca
<http://www.canadianbrain.ca> . Equity, diversity and inclusion are of
paramount importance to the CBRS mission. You may have helped by completing
the EDI survey we sent to MNN members a few months ago. Also part of the EDI
strategy is creation of a plan to include Indigenous Initiatives in the
CBRS, and to provide networking opportunities for Indigenous researchers.
Accordingly, there will be a CBRS Indigenous Initiatives Workshop taking
place on June 28th from 1:00-4:00 CT. The purpose of the workshop is to
obtain a roundtable of points for consideration for CBRS Indigenous
Initiatives and to provide a networking opportunity for Indigenous
researchers.
The MNN would like to have a strong Manitoba contingent involved in these
discussions. Both the Universities of Manitoba and Winnipeg have placed
significant strategic focus on Indigenous perspectives and involvement in
research. Research for, with, and by Indigenous peoples is an important
cross-cutting dimension of scholarship at the University of Manitoba and is
an area of great contemporary relevance given the historical and
developmental consciousness shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples
and communities in Manitoba (UM Strategic Research Plan).
All who are interested in learning more about CBRS Indigenous Initiatives
and Indigenous research in neuroscience or wish to network with Indigenous
researchers are welcome to attend. You may RSVP at:

Thank you.
