Description: |
Supported by the Canada Brain Research Fund, the purpose of the Future Leaders in Canadian Brain
Research program is to accelerate novel and transformative research that will fundamentally change our
understanding of nervous system function and dysfunction and their impact on health. The ultimate goal
is to reduce the social and economic burden of neurological and mental health illnesses through
prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment. This Program encourages innovative, unorthodox, and exploratory research that may be in the early and
conceptual stages of project development but has potential for significant impact on our understanding
of the brain. The data generated will enable early-career researchers to apply for larger grants that will
lead to long-term projects and create innovative and sustainable research programs. |
