The objective of the this Fellowship scheme is to encourage the brightest UK neurology trainees in undertaking world-leading clinical neuroscience research for improving the care of those with neurological conditions and to develop new links between the funders of research and clinical trainees.

Research in clinical neuroscience lags far behind research in cancer and heart disease in funding and in the recruitment and retention of research personnel. It is vital that the next generation of neurologists is trained in research and discovery.

The ABN Clinical Research Training Fellowships support 3-year clinical research training fellowships in neurological disciplines resulting in a PhD.

The Department of Defense maintains a Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program to support research across the full range of science and medicine, with an underlying goal of enhancing the health, care, and well-being of military Service members, Veterans, retirees, and their family members. Projects related to Peripheral Neuropathy are eligible to apply for funding through this program thanks to the partnership between the Foundation and key Congressional partners who recognize a relationship between GBS and Service members.

The Benson Fellowship is a three-year fellowship that provides an opportunity for talented scientists to engage in peripheral nerve of study. The aim of the scheme is to provide funds (up to $150k per year for three years) to enable clinicians or non-clinical scientists in training or having recently completed training to engage in a substantial research project in the field of inflammatory neuropathy at a Centre or Centers of Excellence or an Institution approved by the committee. Preference will be given to candidates who intend to pursue a long-term career in this field. Letters of Intent due: September 1, 2024
The next fellowship cycle begins January 2025

The main objectives of the fellowship programme are to motivate and facilitate the training of young professionals working in HD clinical practice through sharing knowledge and experience.
(-> neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, physiotherapists, clinical geneticists or other healthcare professionals)

Fellows selected for the programme spend six weeks working in a highly regarded, multi-disciplinary HD clinic in Europe.
Priority will be given to applicants who are already engaged in clinical practice in HD and have a realistic prospect of remaining active in the HD field following completion of the programme.

Placements to host clinics will take place in the respective year.

Neurology Research Grant 2023

The Jacques and Gloria Gossweiler Foundation offers a "Neurology Research Grant" to support high quality research on non-pharmacological treatment of symptoms experienced by patients with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders performed in a research center in or related to Switzerland. The principal applicant must be in a position to carry out the research project under his or her own responsibility. The applicant must be able to show that he/she is employed at least 50% for the duration of the project at a research institution, with the necessary research infrastructure.

The funding period is two years, with a possible extension up to a maximum of 4 years. It includes any support of the research project, with the exception of the applicant's own salary.

Application deadline: 30. September 2023

The Neurology Scientific Advisory Board of JGGF is presided by Prof. Dr. med. Jean-Marc Burgunder.

The application for funding has to meet to the formal requirements mentioned on https://www.jggf.ch/en/neurology-research

New grants for education within neurology and psychiatry from Neurotorium!

Neurotorium wishes to strengthen clinical competencies within the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders through educational activities aimed at healthcare professionals. With this goal in mind, Neurotorium is launching a new series of grants, designed to help develop and grow educational programs within neurology and psychiatry.

We believe that diversity strengthens education and for this reason diversity of applicants, including, but not limited to, gender, ethnic origin and socioeconomic background, is encouraged. We especially encourage projects that are based in low-income countries.

In line with our mission, one of our society’s overarching aims is to bolster the careers of researchers and foster excellence in peripheral nerve research, including clinical, translational, and basic science.

This PNS funded grant opportunity is designed to provide support for two candidates:

• It will enable a junior clinical investigator to acquire or consolidate expertise in clinical observational studies, clinical outcome measures, and/or clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development.
• It will empower a junior scientist or clinician-scientist to develop expertise and knowledge in peripheral nerve research by addressing key questions in Schwann cell/axonal biology and/or by elucidating relevant disease pathomechanisms.

The selected recipients of these training grants will conduct their research activity within a Peripheral Nerve Society (PNS) member research center where they have not previously received training.

New in 2025! The duration is two years for both the Clinical and Laura Feltri Basic Science Training Grant.

We are pleased to offer institutional funding of up to $75,000 USD to be further disbursed to each grant recipient annually, to cover their salary, and living expenses. All projects must commence by 31 January the year following the award of the grant.

Training Grant Application Deadline: 15 November 2024
