Trainees play a vital role in the Network and one of the main Network goals is to foster new and innovative training opportunities for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and new investigators.
One of the Network’s major initiatives is our annual Trainee Support Opportunity that provides financial assistance and experiential learning opportunities to students across Canada with outstanding potential to contribute to musculoskeletal health rehabilitation research.
