Application Deadline: 31 May 2025
Applications are now open for the 2025 International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) Neuroscience Training Grants. Specialized teaching and hands-on training experiences are crucial for the career development of neuroscience researchers. The IBRO Neuroscience Training Grants are designed to support these essential opportunities, covering costs directly associated with the attendance of a neuroscience training course, such as course fees, travel and accommodation.
By eliminating financial barriers, IBRO aims to ensure that early-career neuroscientists, particularly those from under-resourced regions, can access high quality training. This initiative is part of IBRO’s broader commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in neuroscience research and education.
Requirements
