Brainbox Initiative Awards 2023: Deadline Approaching

If you're an early to mid-career neuroscientist with a passion for non-invasive brain stimulation and imaging, then these three prestigious awards are calling your name. The Brainbox Initiative Research Challenge Award, the Young Investigator Award, and the John Rothwell Award offer exceptional opportunities for recognition, support, and collaboration in the field. With the deadline for applications approaching on June 1st, you have less than a month left to seize these remarkable opportunities.

Research Challenge Award

The Brainbox Initiative Research Challenge Award, established in 2016, is aimed at promising up-and-coming neuroscientists with ambitious research proposals in integrated non-invasive brain stimulation and imaging studies. By submitting your research proposal, you have a chance to win a loan of specialist non-invasive brain stimulation and/or imaging equipment for up to three months, expert technical help, a speaking slot at the Brainbox Initiative Conference, and more. Whether you work with TMS, tES, TUS, MEG, fNIRS, neuronavigation, or EEG, this award could provide you with the support you need to bring your research to life.
