BC Leadership Chair
John, attached are the terms of reference for the BC Leadership Chair in
Cognitive Neuroscience in Child Health and Development. This is the product
of many years of collaborative effort within Psychology, the BC Children's
Hospital and the Down's Syndrome Research Institute.
A candidate has been identified and his application has been made to LEEF. I
have no doubt that the application will be successful in the CRC review process.
• ?
I know the applicant is anxious to begin research at SFU, so I would request that
this be put on the SCUP agenda as soon as possible. Let me say in closing that
the Chair will represent a very important nucleus of top quality research in
cognitive neuroscience in Canada.
