The Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research from the Brain Canada Foundation supports early-career investigators in brain research in Canada. The program seeks to accelerate novel and transformative research that will fundamentally change our understanding of nervous system function and dysfunction and their impact on health. The ultimate goal is to reduce the social and economic burden of neurological and mental illnesses through prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment. Applications are open to early-career investigators within five years of starting their first independent research position. The grant provides 100,000 CAD over 2 years.
Letters of intent are due November 7, 2025, and invited full applications are due February 20, 2026.
