Description
The Return Home Grant supports researchers making the transition from a postdoctoral position in a developed country to independent neurochemistry research in their home country. It focuses on researchers returning to low- or middle-income countries, as classified by the World Bank, and helps them establish their own research at their home institution.
The grant forms part of the International Society for Neurochemistry’s Career Support Grants programme, managed by the ISN Career Support Committee (CSC). Its focus is the return-home stage of a research career, linking support for the returning researcher with the establishment of independent neurochemistry research. Applicants must have independent researcher status at their home institution, with institutional confirmation of a position and laboratory space.
