Canadian Sleep Society (CSS)/CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (CIHR-ICRH) Trainee Research Day at World Sleep 2019
This daylong event has been designed by trainees for trainees in sleep research. The program will be relevant to a wide range of trainees, and was planned to achieve scientific integrity, objectivity and balance. Participation is encouraged from trainees at all levels, from graduate students to fellows, working in basic and clinical research fields. The format of the program will include a mixture of data presentations by trainees and senior investigators, in addition to professional development sessions where attendees will get advice from experts on improving their scientific communication skills. The CCS/CIHR-ICRH Trainee Research Day will conclude with a social event and data blitz aimed at getting attendees to interact, network, and have fun.

CIHR Sex- and Gender-Based Analysis Trainee Abstract Award
The CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (ICRH) and Institute Gender and Health (IGH) have partnered to create a new award for trainee abstracts submitted to World Sleep 2019. The CIHR Sex- and Gender-Based Analysis Trainee Abstract Award will recognize the trainee abstract that best demonstrates appropriate integration of sex and/or gender analysis into the research. Judges will evaluate all scientific abstracts submitted by trainees to World Sleep 2019 and score the integration of sex and/gender based analysis using a standardized rubric. The winner will receive a certificate and a monetary prize of $250, which will be presented at the CSS/CIHR-ICRH Trainee Research Day as part of World Sleep 2019.
