Trainees are invited to create a short video that summarizes their research and how it relates to one or more of the Social Exposome Cluster (SEC) themes (i.e., Extrinsic factors that contribute to healthy development, Intrinsic factors, Technological Development, and/or Policies and Interventions) . Videos should be no longer than 5 minutes in length, and with a focus on translating research to the public. Videos should therefore describe the research in a manner that is understandable, interesting and engaging to a non-scientific audience, including families, children and policymakers. We particularly welcome and encourage joint submissions from Trainees from different academic backgrounds and programs. Joint submissions will be limited to 3 Trainees per video and all participating Trainees will be required to be in labs led by an SEC Investigator. All submissions will be featured on the Cluster website and Trainees from the top three videos, voted on by Cluster Trainees, will each be awarded a $500 Travel Award (to be spent by March 2022).

Please email your video submissions to Tiffany at treeve@bcchr.ca. The competition will close July 31st, 2020.
