Invitation - MB - CSHRF
by Student Research Forum 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

The Manitoba Health Research Poster Competition (June 10) for graduate students is a great venue for students from across the health spectrum (Animal Science to zoologists... as broad as the CIHR mandate) to gain practice in presentation, receive feedback from experienced judges (awards of excellence are also available), and network with students from across the breadth of health research, both here and nationally. The opportunities for networking within the Canadian Student Health Research Forum (CSHRF) are broad, from social events (June 12) such as a social evening and dinner as well as tours... the broad-spectrum symposium by Gairdner laureates (June 13) and meeting with CIHR leadership for a workshop on Career Development (June 11). And it's all free for participants, so I'd encourage you consider this opportunity and to pass the message along to your colleagues. For more information please see: www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days<http://www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days> <http://www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days> Application/Abstract Deadline: March 15, 2019 http://umanitoba.ca/outreach/conferences/research_days/mb_competition.html Jessica Fraser Office Assistant to Ed Kroeger, PhD Coordinator, CSHRF Max Rady College of Medicine University of Manitoba Tel: (204) 789-3402 Www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days<http://www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days> <http://Www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days<http://www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days>>

Safety During International Travel Alert
by Jessica Fraser 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Sent on behalf of Hope Anderson, Vice-Dean Graduate Studies, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Dear Colleagues: Recent events have called attention to increasing global political instability and the importance of safety during international travel. Following the recent advice of Foreign Affairs Minister Freeland, we want to advise that the university community follow Government of Canada travel advisories at all times. As such, until more information is available, university-related student and staff travel to areas with changing travel advisories, such as China, is to be postponed. Faculty may wish to limit travel as well. Our hope is that the situation will be resolved soon, and that this will not impact our many valued partnerships with Chinese institutions. If communications with partner institutions are required in order to explain why travel is being postponed, the International Centre<mailto:kennis.fung@umanitoba.ca?subject=Advice%20on%20communications%20with%20Chinese%20partners%20> is available to support. We encourage faculty, staff and students to use the following resources for all travel: * International SOS<http://umanitoba.ca/research/international_centre/emergency_contact.html> - This is University of Manitoba's first point of contact in an emergency and a valuable resource for pre-travel advice. It provides comprehensive medical and travel security assistance service. They are available 24/7, 365 days per year, and free to faculty, students, and staff. You can call our dedicated number<http://umanitoba.ca/research/international_centre/emergency_contact.html>, register online<http://umanitoba.ca/research/international_centre/emergency_contact.html> and/or request your free International SOS card from the International Centre<http://umanitoba.ca/research/international_centre/emergency_contact.html>. * Registration of Canadians Abroad<https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/registration> - this is a free service that allows the Government of Canada to quickly locate you and provide support in case of an emergency abroad.
