CAN is proud to announce that, with generous support from the Institute of Neuroscience, Mental Health & Addiction of CIHR, we have more than doubled the amount of CAN travel awards we are giving out to trainees attending the #CAN2018 meeting.
IBRO, the International Brain Research Organization, is once again this year providing travel awards for international students working in Canada, and Canadians working abroad to support their attendance of the CAN meeting.
Congratulations to all the winners, we look forward to seeing your posters!
