Tabrez From: Julie Lefebvre <julie.lefebvre(a)sickkids.ca> Sent: Monday, October 2, 2023 8:19 PM To: info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca Subject: could you please forward this IBRO RISING STAR AWARD in NEUROSCIENCE opportunity for new faculty to your Neuroscience network? Hello, I am reaching out to you to ask whether you could distribute this info to your Neuroscience colleagues regarding an IBRO Award competition for early career faculty in a Neuroscience-related field. I am a representative on the IBRO (International Brain Research Organization) US/CANADA Regional Committee. We have a call for applications for its IBRO Rising Star Award, for early career faculty in Canada and the US. There are two awards, 1 for US, and 1 for Canada, for 45,000 EUR. The Award is for early career faculty in a neuroscience-related field from diverse and/or underrepresented backgrounds, and who do not have substantial start-up funds or grant support from other agencies. The Application deadline is October 11th, 2023. The IBRO Rising Stars Awards aim to increase the successful transition and retention of diverse, early-career neuroscientists into academic positions by providing funds to make a significant difference in their research endeavors. The award supports the research needs of early career faculty from diverse and/or underrepresented backgrounds (racial/ethnic minorities, sexual orientation, disability, etc) and early career faculty who do not have substantial start-up funds or grant support from other agencies.

Dear MNN members, We are pleased to introduce the refreshed MNN Seminar Committee, including the MNN Executive Committee and our colleagues Henry Dunn, Jill Stobart, Mark Fry, Zahra Moussavi, Sanoji Wijenayake, and our student voice, Mohammed Abrar Basha. In a bid to intensify our commitment and reach, we are initiating the MNN Student's Seminar Committee. This new formation will work symbiotically with the principal Seminar Committee. Students across all campuses are invited to be a part of this committee. To express your interest, please contact us at <mailto:info@manitobaneuroscience.ca> info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca by August 21, 2023. Evolving Dynamics of MNN Seminars: 1. Greater Coordination: Our MNN Seminars will now synchronize with various seminar series across all Winnipeg campuses and programs. This endeavour aims to bolster participation and benefit our valued members. 2. Visiting Speaker Series: Our aim is to welcome up to eight guest speakers and potentially increase this number. Should you wish to suggest speakers, kindly send their names and a brief rationale to <mailto:info@manitobaneuroscience.ca> info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca by August 21, 2023. 3. Neuroscience Grand Rounds: This format will blend faculty and clinician talks. We have several slots available for local speakers on the following dates: September 29, 2023; October 27, 2023; November 24, 2023; January 19, 2024; February 16, 2024; March 15, 2024; April 19, 2024; May 17, 2024; and June 14, 2024. We invite you to express your interest or recommend others by the same August 21 deadline. 4. MNN Engagement Rounds: Each month, we will focus on a particular lab. The lab's Principal Investigator (PI) will introduce their research, followed by short presentations from up to 3-4 of their trainees. The session will conclude with an informal social hour accompanied by pizza and drinks. Further details will be shared soon. Investigators keen on showcasing their labs can reach out to the Seminar Team at <mailto:info@manitobaneuroscience.ca> info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca. All seminars will be broadcast by Zoom or Crowdcast to those who are not able to attend in person. Our Seminar Team combines the expertise of the MNN Executive Committee with that of our broader network. The reimagined seminar structure promises rich dialogue and knowledge sharing, and we eagerly await your active participation.
