Description
The International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) offers Collaborative Research Grants to foster international scientific partnerships involving emerging research groups. Partnerships may bring together two emerging groups or one emerging and one established group. The program supports the practical costs of working together across countries, including travel, accommodation, subsistence, and research expenses.
The grants place emerging laboratories at the center of the collaboration, with bidirectional travel by principal investigators, postdoctoral researchers, and/or students working on the proposed scientific project. Regional rules shape which partnerships qualify. For US/Canada-led projects, inter-regional collaborations are preferred, while eligible intra-regional partnerships must clearly demonstrate benefits to the emerging group, such as expanded expertise, enhanced resources, or stronger research capacity.
