Become a member of the junior network
The Quebec Network of Junior Pain Investigators (QNJPI) was created to bring together student researchers in the field of pain and foster new collaborations across Quebec universities.
One of the network’s core missions is to inspire the next generation of researchers to reach their full potential by pursuing the best science possible, regardless of the resources available in their home laboratories.
Becoming a member of the QNJPI gives you access to QPRN programs that promote knowledge transfer from research to knowledge users, while guiding you through your science communication initiatives.
You’ll also be eligible for QPRN funding programs that support conference presentations and research internships outside Quebec or internationally.
