Description
The International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) Return Home Grant helps young investigators transition from postdoctoral work in a developed country to independent neurochemistry research in their low- or middle-income home country. It supports the establishment of research activities at the investigator’s home institution and aims to sustain scientific productivity after returning home. Proposals must explain the benefits to both the applicant and their home institution.
The grant is administered through ISN’s Career Support Committee (CSC), whose broader Career Support Grants help the next generation of neurochemists develop their own research activities and move toward research independence. The Return Home Grant specifically addresses the transition from postdoctoral research abroad to an independent position at home.
