The NMD4C is excited to announce a new program for neuromuscular research trainees that will support collaboration opportunities between Canadian research labs! The NMD4C Collaborative Research Training Award program will provide funding awards of $2000 for research trainees to visit another neuromuscular lab within Canada to work on a collaborative research project while gaining hands-on experience, learning new techniques, and further developing their expertise in neuromuscular disease-focused research.
Mark your calendars – the program will launch on May 6, 2025, and will accept applications until June 15, 2025.
Stay tuned for more details on the application process and guidelines. We look forward to supporting the innovative research and professional growth of our trainees through this exciting new program!
