Open | 01 April – 30 April |
The IBRO Travel Grant program aims to foster neuroscience research by providing support to early-career Ph.D. students and post-doctoral fellows from diverse geographical and scientific areas who wish to participate in international neuroscience meetings and events taking place between July and December, 2024.
About the Program
The grant is to be used towards travel and local expenses while attending the proposed conference or meeting. Priority will be given to applicants from under-resourced and less well-funded countries in combination with efforts to ensure both gender and regional diversity.
Applicants are encouraged to provide a comprehensive explanation of the potential impact that their participation in the specified meeting or conference will have on their career trajectory. This may include detailing how the knowledge, insights, and networking opportunities gained during the event will contribute to their professional growth and development.
Application dates:
01 April – 30 April, 2024
