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. In addition to supporting travel to present work at a national/international conference, applications to attend a neuroscience workshop will also be considered.
