Key Information: Applications require an eligible financial host, which must make the final submission to the Foundation.
The Neurological Foundation supports seminars, conferences, educational community events and advanced training courses with an educational or research focus. The programme aims to train the next generation of neuroscientists, clinicians and healthcare professionals in research, while helping the public understand the causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and care of nervous system diseases and disorders. Equipment that facilitates education or training is also eligible.
Applications must advance at least one priority: increasing awareness of neurological research, facilitating study and training in that research, or educating the public about neurological health. Support can cover attendee participation, keynote speakers, facilitators, educational materials and presentation prizes. Events may produce guidelines or publications, but the event must remain the primary outcome. Applicants should demonstrate potential benefits for people affected by neurological conditions.
