Created in April 2012 by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS), the Research Network on CardioMetabolic health, Diabetes and Obesity aims to promote research excellence, knowledge development and knowledge sharing in these areas to improve the quality of life of Quebecers.
The CMDO Network is launching its 2023-2024 Yves-Deshaies Rising Stars Award of the CMDO Network for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in Quebec. The objective of the award is to help students, whose applications could be competitive, to increase their chances of success for a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship or a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship (submission expected in the fall of 2024). This Award of Excellence has three components: 1) financial support ($3,000) for participation in international conferences; 2) access to the 2024 CMDO Winter Camp and 2024 CMDO Annual Meeting and 3) access to a CMDO mentor to prepare for competitions such as the Vanier and Banting. A maximum of two(2) awards per year will be awarded following an evaluation based on criteria of excellence.
The laureates will receive financial support of $3,000 valid from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024 to cover the cost of attending international conferences.
Deadline for application submission is September 11, 2023.
