A total of three (3) stipends are available to support students and postdoctoral fellows conducting research on the neurobiological aspects of mood disorders. The objective is to award scholarships that will serve to enhance the development of the research career of students and postdoctoral fellows.
This call targets projects that address the fundamental, clinical and translational bases of the neurobiological mechanisms of mood disorders. By fundamental, we are referring to all projects that propose the use of models (animal, cellular, mathematical, etc.) and which aim to elucidate questions related to molecular, cellular, functional and other mechanisms involved in the expression of mood disorders. By clinical we refer to all projects that aim to study specific populations with mood disorders or likely to develop them, focusing on the identification of biomarkers. By translational we refer to all projects aiming to bridge the gap between fundamental and clinical studies as described above. Projects can be as interested in developmental principles, susceptibility/ resilience, therapeutic, phenotypic, etc.
The competition is funded by the Neurobiological Aspects of Mood Disorders Axis of the RQSHA co-directed by Drs. Benoit Labonté and Linda Booij. In addition to fostering the development of research among students and postdoctoral fellows, this competition also aims to promote the dissemination of research to the general public and to raise awareness among the population of the importance of research in psychiatry and mood disorders.more particularly.
