Mentoring the next generation of autism researchers

The Neuro’s Azrieli Centre for Autism Research is pleased to announce that it will be mentoring five new QART trainees

Each year, The Neuro’s Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR) supports the Québec Autism Research Training (QART) Program by mentoring the next generation of autism researchers.

The competitive program, led by the Transforming Autism Care Consortium provincial network, offers outstanding graduate students and post-doctoral fellows training opportunities in the latest research techniques and technologies, career skills development, and meaningful engagement with autistic people, their allies and the community.

This year, ACAR is pleased to announce that it will be mentoring five new QART trainees:
