Empowering the next generation of neurodevelopmental researchers
Applications are now open for the Canadian Neurodevelopmental Research Training (CanNRT) Platform’s Fellowship. This opportunity offers graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical fellows from universities across Canada access to tailored training opportunities that extend beyond academia, preparing them to become leaders in both research and sectors where critical capacity is needed.
The program runs for up to three years and includes a range of capacity-building activities.
“The CanNRT Fellowship offers a unique training environment that blends academic research with immersive, collaborative learning. This approach allows us to support a diverse group of researchers who are not only advancing neurodevelopmental science but also helping to shape the future of the field in meaningful ways,” says Ellie-Anna Minogianis, Training Program Manager.
