Dear Manitoba Neuroscientists:

Each year the Society for Neuroscience offers travel grants through its local Chapters. The Winnipeg Chapter is now accepting applications from graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for this competition. A Chapter committee will rank the applications and forward the top-ranked applications to the Society for Neuroscience for adjudication. In the past our Chapter has successfully attracted several of these awards so I encourage all trainees travelling to the SFN 2011 meeting to submit applications for travel funds.

Please forward to wcsn@sbrc.ca:

* Completed student or postdoc application form (attached)

* Copy of the abstract submitted for the SfN annual meeting

* A one-page leter of recommendation from the nominee's mentor/advisor commenting on the nominee's contributions to neuroscience research

* A one-page curriculum vitae from the nominee, including the following information:

o Education (including the date at whicthe nominee advanced to Ph.D candidacy)

o Honors/awards

o Publications (abstracts and manuscripts)

DEADLINE: MAY 26, 2011
