The Institute of Infection and Immunity is very pleased to announce the Institute's second New Investigator Forum. The Forum will be held April 13-15, 2007 and is intended to facilitate the career development of new investigators. It aims to strengthen infection and immunity research by establishing peer networks of new investigators working in related or overlapping areas of research. The Forum will also enhance the mentorship of new investigators through formal presentations by renowned senior scientists as well as providing opportunities for informal interactions.
Meeting participants will represent all CIHR themes (basic science, clinical science, population health and health services) and will include up to 100 researchers within 5 years of their first research appointment. The meeting will also bring together a cross section of experts working on various aspects of research in infection and immunity. These expert researchers will enrich the program by facilitating scientific sessions and conducting workshops on a diverse range of topics.
Invitation to attend the forum is by nomination only. If you are in year 1-5 of your first research appointment and would like to be nominated to attend the forum please contact your department chair. Department chairs should send names, email addresses and year of first research appointment of nominees to bethany.heinrichs@schulich.uwo.ca by Nov. 10, 2006.
For more information on the meeting please see the III New Investigator Forum website.
