Dear Current, Past and Future (we hope) trainee members of CAN,
One
of the missions of the Canadian Association for Neuroscience (CAN) is to foster
the training of future neuroscientists in Canada. To meet this goal, the
Canadian Association for Neuroscience announces a program whereby ten research
awards will be made to MSc/PhD students and postdoctoral fellows (PDFs)/MDs
based on research to be presented at the 2005 Meeting of the Society for
Neuroscience to be held in Washington, DC, November 12-16, 2005. Thanks to the
generosity of Eli Lilly Canada, CAN will offer 10 $200 “Eli Lilly/CAN Young
Neuroscientist Awards” to trainees who are graduate students or postdoctoral
fellows/MDs. In addition, CAN will also sponsor an
additional 5 - 10 $200 Travel Awards, depending on the success of our membership
renewal drive. This is your invitation to apply.
The
application process is straightforward. Please submit:
1) A copy of
the abstract which you will present at the 2005 Society for Neuroscience
Meeting;
2) Your address (both snail-mail and e-mail);
3)
Your trainee position, eg. graduate student, post-doctoral fellow and whether
you are a health care professional (i.e. MD, dentist, nurse, pharmacist or
resident);
4) the name of your supervisor.
Four conditions
must be met in order to be eligible for the award:
1) applicants must
be the presenting author of the abstract;
2) applicants must be a
paid up member of CAN ($5 for students, $20 for PDFs and MDs). If you are not
currently a member of CAN, please fill in the membership renewal/application
form (appended) and submit it along with your application for the award;
3) if your laboratory is in Canada, your supervisor must also be a
paid up member of CAN ($20). If your supervisor is currently not a member of
CAN, please please get her/him to fill in the membership renewal/application
form (appended) and submit it along with your application for the
award;
4) if you are currently a health care practitioner (i.e. MD,
dentist, nurse, pharmacist or resident) you may not use the award to defray
travel costs, as this is not permitted under the pharma trade association, Rx
and D guidelines that dictate the way in which Eli Lilly can interact with
health care professionals.
New deadline for receipt of
applications: July 31, 2005.

Meeting to be held during the 2005 Society for Neuroscience Meeting on Tuesday,
