Standard

After a successful Nation-Wide walkout on May 1st to advocate for increased grad student and post-doc funding across Canada, the Neuroscience Trainee Association is organizing a Town Hall and Trainee Panel on behalf of Support Our Science. We would love it if you could share the info with your department! All grad students, post-docs and faculty members are invited!

What is Support Our Science? 

Support Our Science is a grassroots organization with a clear mandate: improve pay for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in Canada. This includes all researchers, from science and engineering to social sciences and humanities. 

What is advocacy week and our goals?

  • Increase awareness of Support Our Science and the mission for Members of Parliament at a crucial time
  • Amplify our message to increase funding to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars through federal scholarship, fellowships and grants
  • Put pressure on Canada’s Minister of Finance, Hon. Chrystia Freeland, to include our asks in the Fall Economic Update or Budget 2024
