Indigenous Initiatives Workshop - Canadian Brain Research Strategy
by Manitoba Neuroscience Network 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

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: <https://bit.ly/cbrsworkshop> https://bit.ly/cbrsworkshop. Thank you. ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>
