RECRUITMENT SCHOLARSHIP
In the context of various training programs in Quebec, exposure to vision sciences is generally late and insufficient. The objective of the Vision Sciences Research Network (VSRN) Recruitment Scholarships is to generate interest in students early enough in their training to allow the most promising students to continue their studies in vision. These scholarships are intended for NEWLY ADMITTED graduate students / postdoctoral fellows and registered FULL-TIME at a Quebec university. Their training must be under the supervision of a member of the VSRN. In addition, to stimulate the training of clinician-researchers, a separate budget will be reserved for students with a professional health degree who wish to undertake additional training in research.
