Neuroscience funding

Public or private actors involved in French research apply under the chosen instrument’s rules. JCJC, PRME, PRC, PRCE and PRCI have different requirements. Relevant first-stage registration is mandatory; some foreign-lead-agency PRCI routes follow separate schedules. This is project funding, not a student fellowship.

For incoming foreign researchers living outside Sweden who intend a temporary postdoctoral stay. Residents of Sweden and people who completed any academic education at KI or another Swedish institution are ineligible. A doctorate or equivalent must be completed before the intended start; candidates finishing their doctorate may apply. Scholarships cover at most two years within four years of the doctorate. Extensive circuit/systems neuroscience experience, quantitative methods, statistics, programming and at least one first-author paper are required.

Active PhD- or MD-qualified scientists of any origin who have led their own laboratory for at least five years and work in a country underrepresented in neuroscience. Applicants working in France, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the United States are ineligible. Self-nomination and nomination by another neuroscientist are accepted. Current ALBA Board and Awards working group members are excluded.

Organisers of Brain Awareness Week events in Europe. Applications require a FENS website account.

Current postdoctoral fellows at accredited colleges/universities, or fellows in postdoctoral appointments when funding begins, worldwide and without a US-citizenship requirement. Research must be linked to autism. A tenured/tenure-track or equivalent active autism-research mentor is required and may be named on only one SOS application. One recommendation from someone other than the mentor is required.

Independent investigators at US nonprofit research institutions with at least three years in tenured or tenure-track faculty roles (by September 2023); every co-PI must qualify. Research-track, adjunct, visiting and instructor titles are excluded. Institutions without professorial titles need a senior official’s independence confirmation. After two unsuccessful consecutive applications, wait one year. Applicants cannot apply to both McKnight schemes in one cycle or repeat the same award; earlier recipients of another scheme must finish that funding first.

Organisers of brain-awareness activities taking place during 2027 outside Europe.

Master’s and PhD neuroscience students and postdocs within five years of starting their postdoc, currently based in Europe. FENS or eligible Pan-Europe IBRO membership, host acceptance and a home-laboratory recommendation are required. Insurance, equipment, groceries and personal expenses are excluded.
