Notice Board

Overview
Improve your next grant application by learning about elements of effective figure design! Whether it is a grant application, presentation or manuscript, you have limited space to explain your science. Figures that are clear, intuitive and robust to misinterpretation are essential for success in any research area (NSERC, CIHR, or SSHRC). This workshop will provide you with resources and considerations for creating great data figures, schematics (grant-at-a-glance) diagrams, Gantt charts, and other types of figures.

Who can attend?
This in-person workshop is open faculty members and trainees.
Early Career Researchers who attend at least six ORIS Seminar Series seminars over the year will be eligible for a seed grant to support their research program.
