Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (INMHA)

Results of the Canada-Finland-China Collaborative Program in Neuroscience

This partnership with the Academy of Finland was established to support collaborative research projects in neuroscience. The collaboration is part of the Academy's Research Program in Neuroscience (NEURO), a major funding initiative of the Academy of Finland (AF). Another partner in the initiative is the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). INMHA will support the project component that is carried out in Canada through grants of up to $30,000 per year for two years. Support from the Academy of Finland will cover the program duration of four years.

A total of 24 international applications were submitted to the NEURO Research Programme. The Programme Steering Committee and the national funding bodies jointly selected seven international collaborative projects to be funded. The following proposals will be supported by INMHA and the Academy of Finland:
