IBRO Neuroscience Training Grants 2026

A grant supporting early-career neuroscientists seeking specialized training opportunities to strengthen their research skills and professional development. IBRO offers funding for high-quality neuroscience training courses, helping remove financial barriers especially for researchers from under-resourced regions. The program advances neuroscience globally through capacity building, collaboration and equitable access to training. Selected applicants receive funding for training-related costs like registration fees, travel and local expenses, with grant amounts varying by region (up to $5,000 for Africa, $3,000 for Asia-Pacific, $4,500 for Pan-Europe, and $4,000 for the US/Canada).

• Open to applicants from all countries worldwide. Eligible applicants include PhD students and early-career postdoctoral fellows within five years of starting their first postdoctoral position. Applicants must be planning to attend an eligible neuroscience training course during the grant cycle. Those intending to attend IBRO-supported schools are generally expected to apply through those schools directly rather than through this grant scheme.
