Description
The IBRO/Dana Foundation Brain Awareness Week Grants are designed to foster public engagement and education in neuroscience by supporting high-quality outreach projects during Brain Awareness Week. These grants focus on countries outside Europe, aiming to reach diverse audiences—especially in regions where resources and public understanding of brain science may be limited. Supported activities include public talks, workshops, school visits, interactive demonstrations, fairs, and community events that communicate the significance of brain health and neuroscience research in everyday life. The program is a collaboration between the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) and the Dana Foundation, with the goal of expanding global appreciation and awareness of brain science.
