Who can apply
- Only PhD students and postdocs within 5 years of starting their first postdoctoral fellowship may apply, so BSc and MSc students are excluded, and the course must be a structured neuroscience training course or school starting between 1 January and 31 August 2027. Applications to attend an IBRO-Supported School are not considered here and must go to the school directly, and conference or exchange-stay costs are ineligible (those belong to IBRO Travel Grants and IBRO Exchange Fellowships). Beyond that the call is open internationally with no membership requirement and no application fee; funding priority goes to applicants from underrepresented or under-resourced backgrounds. You need at least one reference letter, one of which must come from your current supervisor.
