Funding Opportunity: Brain Canada

Brain Canada is pleased to partner with the ALS Society of Canada once again to continue to support the next generation of clinical researchers pursuing specialized training in the field of ALS

The ALS Canada-Brain Canada Clinical Research Fellowship 2023 is designed to support the further training of a clinician to develop the skills necessary to become a specialist in ALS and provides training in clinical or basic research relevant to the field. Specialized training of young MDs in both clinical care and research skills related to ALS is crucial to building better clinical infrastructure across Canada.

One fellowship of up to $200,000 CAD total is available for up to two years. The funds awarded through this fellowship will be utilized to support the stipend/salary of the awardee.

Evidence clearly shows that increasing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in research environments enhances excellence, innovation, and creativity. Brain Canada is committed to excellence through equity, and we encourage applicants of diverse backgrounds to apply to our funding opportunities, which will promote the expression of diverse perspectives, approaches, and experiences, including those of underrepresented groups.
