Nominations open for IBRO Rising Stars Awards
Deadline Date: October 15, 2024
Donor Name: International Brain Research Organization
Grant Size: $10,000 to $100,000
The International Brain Research Organization is requesting applications for its Rising Stars Awards to support diverse, early-career neuroscientists in establishing their own laboratories by providing essential start-up funds as they transition into independent professional positions.
The awards support the research needs of early career neuroscientists who either come from diverse and/or underrepresented backgrounds (racial/ethnic minorities, sexual orientation, special needs, etc) or lack substantial start-up funds or grant support from other agencies. Additionally, they significantly impact their professional trajectories, by providing critical recognition for their research endeavors, supporting targeted capacity building and enabling the integration of cutting-edge methodologies and tools into their work. As a result, this program also enhances awardees’ chances of securing additional funding.
