This year, on International Women’s Day, Ontario Genomics is launching our first-ever “Women in Genomics” Mentorship Network, created for anyone who identifies as a woman*.
This pilot program seeks to connect women, across a diversity of sectors and specialties in genomics, with the guidance, knowledge, and community to help them thrive in our booming genomics ecosystem. Whether you’re just starting out or are well-positioned in your career, mentorship has the power to transform the way you see your work, yourself, and your future.
Help build our collective courage to smash glass ceilings, flip the switch on women-in-science stereotypes, and connect with other women who are striving for personal growth and professional success.

Tri Council News
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is recruiting members to join its Institute Advisory Boards (IABs)
Diversity of expertise and experience are key to the success of IABs. Their primary function is to provide advice on health research priorities. They also consider how best to shape and implement health research strategies in line with these priorities, and to accelerate the flow of knowledge into health benefits. IABs meet at least twice a year. Members are reimbursed for travel and accommodation.
There will be a focus on ensuring that IAB members reflect the diversity of Canada and the health research ecosystem at large. We encourage under-represented groups to apply.
Applications will be accepted until April 12, 2021. New members will be invited to serve terms of three years beginning on September 1, 2021. Visit the CIHR website for more information on IABs, including how to apply.
