MDC & NMD4C Fellowship Funding Awards Coming Soon
The NMD4C in partnership with Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) are excited to share that we will be launching a competition later this year to award funding for two postdoctoral research and two clinical fellowships!
The postdoctoral research fellowship competition will be launched this fall, with the clinical fellowship competition to follow at a later date. The NMD4C and MDC are committed to supporting both early-career researchers and clinicians in building successful careers in neuromuscular disease (NMD) in research and clinical practice.
The postdoctoral research funding opportunity will allow early-career scientists to focus on research contributing to understanding the biological causes and/or new clinical treatment of NMDs. More details about the call for postdoctoral research fellowship applications including eligibility, funding amount, and term will be available soon.
Make sure to stay tuned as we approach the launch of this competition on September 1st, 2021!
