Through our project grant scheme we invite applications for funding for projects within our three priority themes: headache and facial pain, neuro-oncology, and acquired brain and spinal cord injury.
This year's call for applications is now closed. The next call will launch late in 2025 with a Spring 2026 deadline for preliminary applications.
Applications must address large unmet need within these three priority areas, and may be for either:
The maximum grant size is £300,000, for projects of up to three years’ duration. Requests for the support of pilot studies are welcomed.
We particularly encourage applications from early career researchers - defined as those with up to 10 years post-doctoral research, taking into account periods of extended leave. Early career applicants must have their own salary already in place (as should all Lead applicants).
There is a two-stage application process for project grants. The first stage involves submission of a short preliminary application, with short-listing applications then invited to submit a detailed research proposal.
The application guidelines below are for information only - this year's call is now closed.
Applications must be submitted via our online portal. You will need to sign in or register to access the application form. Access our online application portal.
