  • The IICN invites applications

    The IICN invites applications for two independent grants of up to €20,000.

    Aim

    The aim of the grants is to support research and educational activities in the clinical neurosciences.

    Areas covered

    The grants are open to all areas of clinical neurosciences and are not disease specific. The grants may serve to support a larger research project, for example by financing MRI slots or a specific piece of equipment for a larger study. Alternatively, the grant may be used more broadly for an educational project, for example, funding the costs of an invited lecture series.

    Eligibility- who should apply?

    • Only IICN members in good standing may apply.
    • The project must be conducted at a centre in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.
    • Applicants should not have received another IICN grant (eg., Sanofi Genzyme Research Grant) within the previous five years.
    • IICN members may submit applications for more than one research or educational purpose. However, an individual applicant will be awarded a maximum of one grant.

    Value of the Grants

    Two grants of a value up to 20,000 euro each are available.

    Proposed start date

    The successful applicant will be awarded the grant at the end of September, 2019.
