Invitation - MB - CSHRF - REGISTRATION DEADLINE REMINDER
by Student Research Forum 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Just a reminder, the deadline to submit your abstract and registration for CSHRF 2019 is this Friday, March 15th. The Manitoba Health Research Poster Competition (June 10) for graduate students is a great venue for students from across the health spectrum (Animal Science to zoologists... 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 12) such as a social evening and dinner as well as tours... the broad-spectrum symposium by Gairdner laureates (June 13) and meeting with CIHR leadership for a workshop on Career Development (June 11). 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 15, 2019 http://umanitoba.ca/outreach/conferences/research_days/mb_competition.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>>
