Save the Date for the GlycoNet 2021 Scientific AGM

Pending government travel and gathering restrictions, we are planning an in-person AGM in Edmonton on September 17 & 18, 2021. Since COVID-19 will likely still be a factor, at this time we intend to have a smaller meeting with Network Investigators only. We expect all Network Investigators with Cycle II projects to be present. *Projects progress will be evaluated at this event and go/no go decisions will be made for the two-year projects*. Please save the date in your calendar.

GlycoNet Diversity & Inclusion Training Course is now available!

  • Applying for funding (Strategic Initiatives, Clinical Partnerships, Translational, Summer Undergraduate Research Award, Advanced Training Opportunity Program, Research Travel & Supplement Program, MITACS);
  • Planning to attend GlycoNet-hosted conferences; or
  • Participating in GlycoNet's professional development workshop

Note:

  • Applicant, co-applicant, and HQP who are on the project application must complete the course before GlycoNet releases the funding.
