Description
The Neurological Foundation’s Small Project Grants encourage clinicians and scientists to undertake discrete neurological research or pilot studies that may lead to larger projects. Grants support stand-alone research questions, separate questions that complement a larger project, and equipment used across several projects. The programme is not intended to fund completion of existing work.
Research must contribute to understanding, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment or management of diseases and disorders of the central or peripheral nervous systems. Studies of the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological disorders are also considered. Priorities include clear outcomes that add to neurological knowledge, technology that enables greater understanding of the nervous system, and neuroscience capacity-building through training and collaboration. Applicants should explain the potential scientific, clinical and wider community impact of their work.
