Following the direction of CBRS Leadership, early- and mid-career researchers (E-MCR) have played a pivotal role in shaping our national brain research strategy from the outset. Through two workshops in fall 2020, E-MCR from across the country contributed invaluable insights that led to the key principles in our national strategy, centred around collaborative, transdisciplinary, and open science approaches to brain research. These principles now serve as the guiding framework for the development of a Brain Research Initiative for Canada.
During 2023, CBRS hosted two meetings to bring together E-MCR from diverse backgrounds across Canada. These gatherings emphasize the crucial role and ongoing engagement of E-MCR in shaping the vision for a collaborative, and open ecosystem for brain research nationwide. The insights garnered and the Committees established during these meetings represent significant strides towards laying the groundwork for a Canadian Brain Research Initiative.
