Overview
The IBRO Seeding Neuroscience Grants are designed to provide critical financial support for inaugural activities, such as governance planning or strategic workshops, that mark the first step toward building a formal national or regional society or thematic network. In addition to the establishment of national or regional neuroscience societies, this program also welcomes applications from groups aiming to form new formal sub-societies or thematic networks (e.g., computational neuroscience, glial research) that do not yet exist as recognized bodies. The goal is to empower local organizations or groups of neuroscientists to come together, develop shared goals, and establish the governance structures necessary to support a sustainable and interactive neuroscience community in their region.

About The Program
The IBRO Seeding Neuroscience Grants are designed to provide critical financial support for inaugural activities, such as governance planning or strategic workshops, that mark the first step toward building a formal national or regional society or thematic network. In addition to the establishment of national or regional neuroscience societies, this program also welcomes applications from groups aiming to form new formal sub-societies or thematic networks (e.g., computational neuroscience, glial research) that do not yet exist as recognized bodies. The goal is to empower local organizations or groups of neuroscientists to come together, develop shared goals, and establish the governance structures necessary to support a sustainable and interactive neuroscience community in their region.
Importantly, this program does not support standalone conferences or scientific meetings if the sole purpose is event organization without a clear, actionable plan to formally establish a society or sub-society. In countries where an established national neuroscience society exists (including IBRO member societies) groups may apply only if they are initiating a formal process to create a dedicated sub-society or regional chapter, and the proposed activities focus on planning and governance discussions necessary for launching that entity. The proposed society or sub-society should demonstrate clear added value, focus on unmet needs or specific subfield representation that is not currently served by the established national society.
Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
