Department of Psychology-Concordia University, Montreal

Nadia Chaudhri is an Associate Professor in the department of Psychology at Concordia University. In 2020, at 43 years young, a diagnosis of advanced ovarian cancer cut her plans short. Nadia has always been passionate about supporting early-career neuroscientists who might be overlooked because they do not fit the traditional mold.

The Nadia Chaudhri Wingspan Award was created to continue Nadia’s vision and recognizes the scholarly potential of individuals who may face hardship due to systemic issues like racism, sexism, geographic origin, and other barriers.

In supporting these emerging scholars, we can diversify the voices and faces, that will shape cutting-edge neuroscience, enable diverse scholars to spread their wings and achieve their potential, and recognize Dr. Chaudhri’s outstanding life-long commitment to research and the importance of inclusive mentorship.
