Brain Canada Launches First Funding Program Brain Canada is pleased to announce the Multi-Investigator Research Initiative (MIRI). The purpose of MIRI grants is to support multidisciplinary teams and 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 problems by prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment. The MIRI Initiative is the first of the new Canada Brain Research Fund’s research programs. Training Awards and Operating Support for National Technology Platforms will be announced in the coming months. Deadline for Letters of Intent: July 13, 2012

March 21, 2011 In 2010, there was an organizational re-structuring at NeuroScience Canada (previously "The NeuroScience Canada Partnership" and "NeuroScience Canada Foundation"). The NeuroScience Canada Foundation has been transformed into the Brain Canada Foundation, with the NeuroScience Canada Partnership remaining as a separate entity. The NeuroScience Canada Partnership is responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring a national brain research program. The Brain Canada Foundation (known as "Brain Canada") is focused on raising funds for brain research in support of the national brain research program developed by the Partnership. We are deeply proud of our success in raising and disbursing funds to support multidisciplinary, multi-institutional, collaborative research through the Brain Repair Program model that was initiated by NeuroScience Canada and that has been championed by the science community around the world. We look forward to more research breakthroughs in the years ahead.
