The Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) Training and Capacity Building Program (T&CB) is responsible for the interconnected Training, Empowerment, Mentorship, Professional development and Operational support (TEMPO) of trainees affiliated with the CCNA. The Training Program connects new and future researchers in the CCNA’s core strategic research priorities: Prevention, Treatment and Quality of Life for persons living with age-related neurodegenerative conditions. T&CB Program activities are made possible through our partnerships with CCNA investigators, partner organizations, post-secondary institutions and trainees.
Current CCNA Trainees
170+ trainees from a variety of disciplines are now contributing to the work of CCNA teams, platforms, and programs. Based within participating post-secondary institutions throughout Canada, CCNA’s trainees benefit from and contribute to the transformative work of the consortium.
WHO IS A CCNA TRAINEE?
To be recognized as a CCNA-Affiliated Trainee, an individual must be either:
- A graduate student (Master’s or PhD) registered full-time or part-time in a Canadian post-secondary institution and working under the supervision of a CCNA investigator member on CCNA related work; or
- A postdoctoral researcher* (also known as a Scholar or Fellow) associated with a Canadian post-secondary institution (registered as a student and/or holding an appointment as an employee) who is being mentored by a CCNA investigator member, and is engaged in CCNA related work.
* A postdoctoral researcher is an individual holding a recently completed research doctoral degree (or medical professional equivalent) in a temporary period of mentored research or scholarly training.
