We are pleased to announce that the Manitoba Neuroscience Network will again
be accepting applications for 2023/24 TRAVEL AWARDS FOR NEUROSCIENCE
PROJECTS and the 2024 VIKTOR HAVLICEK MEMORIAL NEUROSCIENCE LECTURESHIP.
TRAVEL AWARDS: A legacy fund created by the estate of Nancy Hettie Clark is
used to enrich neuroscience training and support opportunities to network
within the wider neuroscience community. Two travel awards of up to $1000
each are intended to be awarded annually to a graduate student and a
postdoctoral fellow at the University of Manitoba. The application deadline
is JULY 10. The eligible travel period is between May 1, 2023 and April 30,
2024.
Eligibility: Eligible trainees are either graduate students or
postdoctoral fellows. Student candidates must be enrolled as full-time
graduate students (PhD or MSc) in the Faculty of Graduate Studies,
University of Manitoba, and have a cumulative graduate grade point average
of 3.5 or greater (University of Manitoba scale). Postdoctoral fellow
candidates must be within five years of having been awarded their Ph.D. and
have a full-time appointment at the University of Manitoba or an affiliated
hospital or institute. All candidates must demonstrate excellent research
performance and potential in a neurosciences-related discipline, and must
demonstrate they will disseminate research results that reflect a
high-quality contribution by The University of Manitoba.
How to apply:
A complete application package consists of the following:
* Cover letter stating the following (1 page maximum):
o Application category (student or postdoctoral fellow) and your start
date in that position
o The conference title, location and dates
o Type of presentation (e.g. poster or oral)
o The importance of the meeting and significance for career development
o Any information that would allow reviewers to assess the significance or
impact of the conference (e.g. abstracts are peer-reviewed)
o Clearly state your graduate GPA (students only)
* Graduate level academic transcript (students only)
* Listing of scholarly output (publications and presentations)
* Support letter from the primary research advisor with (a) a merit
assessment of the candidate and project, and (b) confirmation that there is
a commitment to cover all eligible travel expenses less the award value
* Copy of the submitted abstract
Submit all materials to <mailto:info@manitobaneuroscience.ca>
info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca email by JULY 10. The support letter may be
appended or sent separately by the research advisor.
LECTURESHIP: Viktor Havlicek, MD, PhD, DSc, was a Professor in the
Department of Physiology (now Physiology and Pathophysiology) at the
University of Manitoba from 1968 to 1981. The Viktor Havlicek Memorial fund
was established through gifts to the University of Manitoba in his memory.
This fund yields at least $3,000, with a possibility of up to $4,000, once
every two years to support a visit to the University of Manitoba by an
internationally-renowned neuroscientist in a manner that encourages
interactions with trainees.
Applications are now being accepted until JULY 10, 2023 for a visit and
lecture to take place between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.
Applications for the next Lectureship will be accepted in 2025 for 2026/2027
fiscal year.
Nominations must be made by a faculty member but trainees and staff are
encouraged to suggest names to their advisors. Faculty from any MNN
contributing institution (ie. not only the University of Manitoba) may
submit nominations. A complete nomination consists of a letter to the
Neuroscience Awards Committee (NAC) Chair explaining the rationale for
choice of candidate (1 page maximum), along with any supporting materials
the applicant deems useful for assessing the merit of the candidate and the
benefits of his or her visit to the University of Manitoba. Please send
nominations by email to <mailto:info@manitobaneuroscience.ca>
info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca by JULY 10.
The NAC will determine an order of invitation priority for submitted
nominees and the top-priority candidate invited at a time determined in
consultation with the nominator. If this candidate is not available, the
next candidate will be invited. All candidates on the priority list must be
considered worthy of the Lectureship by the NAC.
We hope you find these opportunities helpful and exciting. If there are any
questions, you may respond to <mailto:info@manitobaneuroscience.ca>
info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca.
Thank you.
