Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

This meeting will focus on bringing together basic science and clinical trainees with interests in gastrointestinal health and disease and related disciplines, along with a select panel of Canadian expert faculty. The underlying philosophy is that if Canada is to maintain its' position at the leading edge of gastroenterological research, then trainees must be afforded the opportunity to mix with their peers and opinion leaders at an early stage, gain experience in presenting data and critiquing that of their peers, and have their efforts highlighted and appreciated for moving the respective disciplines forward. It is deemed critical that high caliber trainees be supported and encouraged to assess the value of a research-oriented career. This meeting has been supported by the CIHR INMD in previous years.
