endMS Research & Training Network
Canadian researchers and trainees have come together to form the endMS Research and Training Network. The Network is designed to accelerate discovery in the field of MS in Canada by increasing the capacity to conduct MS-focused research. The achievement of this goal will be reached by:
- Attracting and retaining trainees and researchers to pursue long term careers in MS research
- Fostering collaboration and providing education and training that will increase knowledge and skill in MS research
- Increasing the opportunity to conduct MS-focused research in Canada
The Network will:
- Connect MS trainees and researchers across Canada through national education and training programs and frequent communications
- Inform and motivate the next generation of MS researchers with an MS-focused national curriculum and career-mentoring program, and hands-on workshops and seminars using the most advanced techniques and equipment the field has to offer
- Organize national MS research conferences to enable information sharing and collaboration among Network participants across Canada
- Offer additional personnel awards that complement the Research Studentship and Fellowship programs currently offered by the MS Society of Canada
- Provide opportunities for collaboration and information exchange with regional education and training programs delivered by the five endMS Regional Research and Training Centres (RRTCs) located across Canada
- Be guided by a Steering Committee comprised of leading experts in MS research, MS health issues and research training. The Network’s Scientific Director, a world-renowned researcher, leads this group.
