Funding, News and Announcements

Brain Canada and the ALS Society of Canada are happy to announce the launch of the 2024 ALS Canada-Brain Canada Clinical Research Fellowship!

Specialized training of young MDs in both clinical care and research skills related to ALS is crucial for building better clinical infrastructure across Canada. This fellowship is designed to support the further training of a clinician to develop the skills necessary to be a specialist in ALS and provide experience/training in clinical or basic research relevant to the field.

One fellowship of up to $200,000 CAD total is available for up to two years. A one-year fellowship of $100,000 CAD may be requested provided appropriate justification is included.

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 they encourage applicants of diverse backgrounds to apply to their funding opportunities, which will promote the expression of diverse perspectives, approaches, and experiences, including those of underrepresented groups.
