The CONP Scholar Programs ran from 2018 to 2021 and are now closed; no new competitions are planned. These pages are kept as a record of the 83 awards made to trainees and early-career researchers across Canada. Profiles describe each scholar at the time of their award.
Welcome to the CONP Scholar Showcase, where we host short video presentations that feature the wide variety of research activities our scholars are engaged in and the equally large array of their contributions to the open-neuroscience community.
From 2018 to 2021, the CONP scholarship program supported highly qualified personnel in conducting collaborative projects that are directly related to building platforms, resources, datasets, analytics, or disseminating neuroscience results that will contribute to the advancement of open neuroscience.
The CONP congratulates its scholars on their excellent work and ongoing participation in the open-science community, developing and promoting the means to make accessible and transparent neuroscience research the new norm.
