Research Training Centre The Research Training Centre (RTC) is a unit dedicated to the technical, professional, and career development of the next generation of scientific leaders. Through expert-led lectures, workshops, internships, scholarships, and public outreach initiatives, the RTC provides trainees with opportunities to build research and leadership skills; network with scientific leaders in academia, industry, government, and not-for-profit organizations; and explore career options. Rotman Research Day 2022 On September 21, 2022, the RTC successfully hosted a Rotman Research Day at the Prosserman Jewish Community Centre, its first in-person research day since February 2020. The Rotman Research Institute (RRI) came together to celebrate five of our retiring scientists through special keynote presentations from Drs. Gus Craik, Deirdre Dawson, Cheryl Grady, Stephen Strother, and Gordon Winocur. As well, scientific poster sessions were held throughout the day to allow RRI trainees and labs to present their latest research projects and findings. Through the efforts of the organizing committee (Negar Mazloum-Farzaghi [Ryan and Olsen Labs], Dr. Asaf Gilboa, Monique Cheng, and Dr. Rosanne Aleong) as well as many volunteers, the day was a joyous celebration of the RRI's history and a showcase for our exciting research future. RRI trainees recognized by the Data Sciences Institute The RRI recently partnered with the Data Sciences Institute (DSI) at the University of Toronto. This partnership enables the Academy to make the most of our behavioural, clinical, and neuroimaging data; connects us to the broader data science community to drive new collaborations and research opportunities; and supports the training of the next generation of data scientists. This past year, a number of RRI trainees received awards and fellowships from the DSI. Dr. Björn Herrmann's undergraduate trainee, Xiaoning Wang, received a Summer Undergraduate Data Sciences (SUDS) Research Opportunity Award. In addition, two postdoctoral fellows supervised by Drs. Nicole Anderson (Dr. Jacklyn Koyama) and Donna Rose Addis (Dr. Isaac Kinley), respectively, with co-supervisors at the University of Toronto, were awarded Data Science Institute Postdoctoral Fellowships for two years. RRI Rounds Coordinators 2022-2023 The RTC would like to acknowledge and thank Dr. Bruna Seixas- Lima and Alice Zhang (Chertkow Lab) for serving as the 2022-2023 RRI Academic Rounds Coordinators and for their tremendous efforts in developing, organizing, and implementing a wonderful rounds line-up. This included 17 of our regular RRI Rounds, as well as the highly successful Toni Balatinecz Memorial Symposium and a joint RRI Rounds/Ebbinghaus Empire talk featuring Dr. Ken Norman from Princeton University. in scholarships awarded professional development workshops community- building events rounds attendees rounds scholarships awarded technical/skill development workshops $ 88,471 13 5 1,047 900 25 22 18 workshop attendees 2022–2023 ANNUAL REPORT 15
