Description: |
NeuroDevNet supports research through the Opportunities Initiative, which funds novel research projects that impact patient care, translational models, or basic brain development and disease. Projects funded through the Opportunities Initiative need to be constructed to provide highly synergistic approaches to the demonstration projects (currently these include ASD, FASD, and CP) or pioneer distinct areas involving other developmental disorders of the brain (see NeuroDevNet Research webpage for more details of individual Demonstration Projects, proposals are downloadable from links at: http://www.neurodevnet.ca/Research.aspx, bottom of page). Proposals must be in line with the research themes and training mission of NeuroDevNet, while providing innovative and clinically-translational approaches to study brain development. Successful projects will include innovative approaches with a high degree of potential for cross-disciplinary networking and synergism with existing NeuroDevNet efforts. |
