If you receive this transmission in error, please notify the sender immediately Dear students, We are delighted to advise that key components of the annual Research Days event (Canadian Student Health Research Forum, CSHRF) will be offered in a virtual format later this summer. Regarding the Manitoba Poster Competition, the virtual format will include pre-recorded video presentations by student presenters followed (after initial evaluation by judges) by live (Zoom) discussion with the judges. Details of the mechanism by which presentations will be recorded will be provided to registered presenters in due course. The general time-frame for this process will be for students to upload their presentations between July 27 – 31 so that judges will have time to review presentations prior to their live discussion on the morning of August 21 (note: students will need to be available during the morning of Aug 21 for live (Zoom) Q&A). As you may anticipate, this will require considerable organization of virtual material (including videos), judging and Zoom meetings, so your adherence to the July 3 deadline for registration is essential. The detailed instructions for registration<http://umanitoba.ca/outreach/conferences/research_days/827.html> are listed on our website. A considerable benefit to the virtual format is that it permits (virtual) networking amongst participants around their posters presentations and we anticipate being able to facilitate these much-requested opportunities. Please note that Certificates of participation, awards of excellence and access to the CIHR National Poster Presentation will be available. We hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to participate and gain experience as well as exposure of your research through this event. More details regarding other events (eg. Gairdner Symposium) within the CSHRF (week of August 24 – 28) will be available shortly. Cheers, Edwin A.

Invitation - CSHRF 2020
by Student Research Forum 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

[cid:image001.jpg@01D5DCF0.C79E9BE0]The Manitoba Health Research Poster Competition (June 8) for graduate students is a great venue for students from across the health spectrum (Animal Science to Zoology... as broad as the CIHR mandate) to gain practice in presentation, receive feedback from experienced judges (awards of excellence are also available), and network with students from across the breadth of health research, both here and nationally. The opportunities for networking within the Canadian Student Health Research Forum (CSHRF) are broad, from social events (June 10) such as a social evening and dinner as well as tours... the broad-spectrum symposium by Gairdner laureates (June 11) and meeting with CIHR leadership for a workshop on Career Development (June 12). And it’s all free for participants, so I'd encourage you consider this opportunity and to pass the message along to your colleagues. For more information please see: www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days<http://www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days> <http://www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days> Application/Abstract Deadline: March 16, 2020 http://umanitoba.ca/outreach/conferences/research_days/mb_competition.html<http://umanitoba.ca/outreach/conferences/research_days/827.html> Jessica Fraser Office Assistant to Ed Kroeger, PhD Coordinator, CSHRF Max Rady College of Medicine University of Manitoba Tel: (204) 789-3402 Www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days<http://www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days> <http://Www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days<http://www.umanitoba.ca/medicine/research_days>> [cid:image001.png@01D5332B.51E21900] This email and/or any document in this transmission is intended for the addressee(s) only and may contain legally privileged or confidential information.

Colleagues and board members of the RESOLVE (Research and Education for Solutions to Violence and Abuse) Research Network have acknowledged Carolynne Boivin's contribution to the development of their network through the establishment of a student award at The University of Manitoba. Carolynne Boivin worked tirelessly as President and founding member of the PrairieAction Foundation. The foundation was established in 1997 to raise $5 million to endow RESOLVE and to support other research and educational initiatives to reduce violence and abuse in the prairie provinces. RESOLVE Manitoba is grateful for this generous gift, as it will ensure that future generations of family and gender-based violence researchers at the University of Manitoba are supported. Should anyone have any questions, please contact the RESOLVE office at resolve(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:resolve@umanitoba.ca> Jessica Fraser Office Assistant to the Vice Dean, Graduate Studies, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences [cid:image001.png@01D5332B.51E21900] 753 McDermot Avenue, Room A202 Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T6 Phone: (204) 789-3402 Fax: (204) 789-3942 jessica.fraser(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:jessica.fraser@umanitoba.ca> This email and/or any document in this transmission is intended for the addressee(s) only and may contain legally privileged or confidential information.
