RHISE Program – Faculty Research Visits
The Rebecca Hotchkiss International Scholar Exchange (RHISE) Program’s Faculty Research Visits was established to develop new interactions and strengthen those that already exist between the Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) and international centres of neuroscience research and training excellence. These visits are intended to augment the Faculty member’s research program in a way that could not be achieved in their home institution and provide a unique opportunity for collaboration.
