Thanks to the support of the Guarantors of Brain, the British Neuroscience Association is awarding Carer Grants of up to £300 to help cover expenses associated with caring responsibilities and thereby enable participation in either BNA-hosted or external neuroscience events.
These BNA-Brain Carer Grants are inclusive of different circumstances and varied caring responsibilities, and can be used to support the attendance of in-person or online events. They are simply intended to enable participation of neuroscientists in a conference, workshop, training or other activity that is of benefit to their research, teaching or career, which would otherwise be difficult or impossible due to their caring responsibilities.
Who is eligible?
- Applicants must be a member of the BNA at the time of application.
- Awards are open to anyone at any career stage (students, postdocs, ECRs, clinicians, PIs or others) with dependents or caring responsibilities.
- Awards are to enable participation in meetings or activities that further your research, teaching or career, or otherwise support the neuroscience sector.
- Preference is given to more junior attendees, those with younger children, presenters, and those with extenuating circumstances.
Applications close January 31, 2025.
