Funder: International Brain Research Organization
Due Dates (Anticipated): March 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Up to USD 5,000–6,000 by region; collaborations last up to two years
Summary: Supports international neuroscience collaborations involving emerging research groups through travel and direct research expenses.
Key Information: Project leaders must have no more than seven years as a principal investigator and lead an emerging laboratory.
Description
The International Brain Research Organization’s Collaborative Research Grants support international scientific partnerships between two emerging research groups, or between an emerging group and an established group. Funding covers the direct costs of working together, including travel, accommodation, subsistence, and research expenses. Two-way travel by principal investigators, postdoctoral researchers, and/or students is a central requirement of the collaboration.
The program aims to expand emerging groups’ expertise, enhance their resources, and strengthen research capacity. Inter-regional collaborations are prioritized, with some within-region partnerships permitted for leaders in Latin America and the US/Canada region. For US/Canada applicants, eligible within-region proposals must clearly demonstrate benefits to the emerging group, including capacity-building at smaller institutions.
