Specialized teaching and hands-on training experiences are crucial for the career development of neuroscience researchers. The IBRO Neuroscience Training Grants are designed to support these essential opportunities, covering costs directly associated with the attendance of a neuroscience training course or school, such as fees, travel and accommodation.
IBRO funding programs fall into two main categories: career development support and event organization. This program falls under career development. IBRO typically aims to respond to all applicants within six weeks of the application deadline.
