NEW AWARDS
by networking＠manitobaneuroscience.ca 19 Apr '16

19 Apr '16

The Manitoba Neuroscience Network (MNN) is pleased to announce establishment of The NANCY HETTIE CLARK TRAINEE TRAVEL AWARDS and the VIKTOR HAVLICEK MEMORIAL NEUROSCIENCE LECTURESHIP. These are new awards for neuroscientists affiliated with the University of Manitoba. The first application deadline will be May 1, 2017. More details will be made available well before then. The estates of Nancy Hettie Clark and Dr. Viktor Havlicek each made generous contributions to the University of Manitoba (Department of Physiology) in the 1980's. In both cases, funds were intended to promote the neurosciences. The legacies and unspent annual allocations have accumulated to substantial values, prompting the MNN and Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology to create clear terms of reference for awards that respect the initial intent of the contributions. Capital reserve funds have been created, and annual interest will be used to fund each new award. The Nancy Hettie Clark Trainee Travel Award fund is intended to allow two (2) annual trainee travel awards of $700 each. The Viktor Havlicek Memorial Neuroscience Lectureship fund is intended to allow one (1) biannual lectureship award of $3000, used to bring an internationally-renowned neuroscientist to Winnipeg. Both awards will have the same deadline (May 1, starting 2017) and recipients will be selected by the Neurosciences Awards committee, chaired by the MNN (Winnipeg Chapter, Society for Neuroscience) President. Detailed terms of reference are attached. The MNN thanks the University of Manitoba's College of Medicine (Dr. Ed Kroeger) and Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology (Drs. Peter Cattini and Larry Jordan) for helping to ensure that these awards promote excellence in the neurosciences across all faculties at the University of Manitoba. ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>
