Guest Speaker Invitation Support Program
Created in April 2012 by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS), the Research Network on CardioMetabolic health, Diabetes and Obesity aims to Pursue the development of research in cardiometabolic health, diabetes and obesity, translate and mobilize knowledge to promote sustainable health among Quebecers.
The network is launching its Guest Speaker Invitation Support Program for the year 2024 – 2025 (two annual competitions). The program invites researchers who are regular members of the network to seek financial support so as to invite speakers from outside Quebec or a regular member of the CMDO Network in a context of a Quebec-based scientific event which they are organising and that is related to cardiometabolic health, diabetes and obesity. The eligibility criteria and evaluation procedures are described below. Events demonstrating excellent scientific quality, major outreach opportunities and a structuring effect on research within the network will be funded up to $1,000 per speaker from outside Quebec, or up to $500 per speaker who is a regular member of the CMDO (maximum of 2 speakers per event).
Scientific events for which award(s) will be granted will have to take place within the period specified for each competition.
Deadlines for applications are the following:
1) February 10 of each year for scientific events taking place in the following months of April to October.
2) September 10 of each year for events taking place in the following months of November to March.
Women, Aboriginal people, visible minorities, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and people from the 2SLBGTQIA+ community are encouraged to apply for funding. For evaluation purposes, we strive to recruit a diverse committee that reflects the profiles of the applicants and ensure an evaluation process that takes into account the particular situations of the applicants, including atypical trajectories.
Applications submitted late, incomplete or do not meet the eligibility criteria will not be evaluated.
You can now publicize your scientific event on our website by clicking HERE.
