Dinero para viajes y cursos en neurociencias para el segundo semestre de 2011!

Latin America Regional Committee (LARC) will evaluate :

A) Short Research Stays IBRO's possible funding (up to 1200 euros) for doing short research/training lab visits within the region to take place between July 1 and December 31, 2011.  Priority will be given to doctoral students and postdocs who wish to attend a foreign lab within the region and who plan to link their lab stay with attendance to a course or congress. This year, priority will also be given to lab activities linked to attendance to the 8th IBRO World Congress of Neuroscience in Florence, Italy, July 14-18. The online application for this program closes on March 31, 2011.

B) Schools, July - December 2011 possible funding (up to 15,000 euros) for basic Neuroscience schools with at least a 14-day duration and must include laboratory experimental work, demonstrations or computer based experiments to take place between July 1 and December 31, 2011.  Applications must be completed online by March 31, 2011.

Closing Remarks:

CaribBrain is an effort to communicate Neuroscientists within the region. Why? If we do not communicate, we duplicate efforts and compete for limited resources resulting in a very inefficient way of advancing neuroscience.  Being posted in a web site does not assure that it will be seen (ie. LARC).  Communication needs to be an active process!
