| The IBRO Travel Grants Programme aims to foster
neuroscience research especially in less well-funded countries by
providing support to high quality neuroscientists from diverse
geographic and scientific areas (US/Canada Region excluded) who wish to
participate at international neuroscience
meetings.
Priority is given to those who have not obtained funding from this
programme within the past three years. Applicants cannot apply for more than one category of funding within travel grants.
IBRO Travel Grants
Application Deadlines:
- 1 March - for travel to conferences occurring during July to December of that year.
- 1 September - for travel to conferences occurring during January to June of the following year.
Amount: up to 1250 euros
The Travel Grants support neuroscientists to present their research
findings at international neuroscience meetings. The funding for travel
will be up to Euros 1,250 per award.

IBRO/SfN International Travel Grants
Application Deadline: 1 March
Amount: up to $2000 US
The Society for Neuroscience offers travel fellowships to their
annual meeting of up to $2000 USD each for neuroscientists under the age of 35 who are currently
working and living in a resource-restricted country – those defined by
the World Bank as low, lower-middle, or upper-middle income. (Click here for the World Bank's country classifications.) Registration fees are waived for successful candidates attending the meeting.
The candidates should be neuroscientists from the IBRO Regions of Africa, Asian/Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and Western Europe. To qualify for this travel award, you must both be a citizen of and reside in a country that the World Bank has classified low, lower-middle or upper-middle income. Candidates from Canada/USA region are excluded.
The
applicant should be the first author of an abstract to be presented at
the SfN annual meeting. A copy of the abstract submitted to SfN for a
poster or a platform presentation is required.
Awardees will
be notified prior to the SfN abstract deadline of May 15 of the current year as to
whether they have been elected for the SfN travel grant. However, this
award is contingent upon the awardee's abstract being accepted by SfN,
proof of attendance at the meeting, and fulfillment of the requirements
as stated above.
Apply on-line.
IBRO/NIDA Travel Grants
Application Deadline: 1 March
Amount: up to 1250 euros
Two NIDA/IBRO Travel Grants of up to Euros 1,250 each will be
awarded by NIDA (the National Institute on Drug Abuse, NIH) and the IBRO
Fellowships & Travel Grants Programme to young investigators
(excluding the US/Canada Region) to present posters at the NIDA
mini-convention, a satellite meeting of the Society for Neuroscience
Annual Meeting.
The candidates should be neuroscientists under the age of 35 from
the IBRO Regions of Africa, Asian/Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe,
Latin America and Western Europe. 'Frontiers in Addiction Research' is
an all-day meeting sponsored by NIDA. The mini-convention feature
symposia on the neurobiology of drug abuse and addiction, with
symposium topics spanning the cellular through the neurobehavioral
levels of research. The invited Early Career Poster Session takes place
during an extended lunch break of approximately two hours during the
mini-convention. The same poster can be presented for the regular SfN
meeting.
