Funding opportunities

Existing measures to fund researchers at their early-career stages in national and regional programmes that are either generic or specific to neuroscience are published on the NEURON web site to provide information for early-career researchers about suitable funding possibilities.

Also ERA-NET NEURON Joint Transnational Calls are relevant sources of funding for young researchers at the early stages of their careers. To test and highlight this, ERA-NET NEURON has performed monitoring studies to explore the position of early career researchers in the past ERA-NET NEURON joint transnational calls.

List of Funding Programs for Early-Career Researchers

The document lists the specific funding opportunities in different countries for young researchers.

Early career scientists report 2010/2011

The ERA-NET NEURON performed a monitoring study to explore the position of early career scientists in the 2010-2011 ERA-NET NEURON joint transnational calls “Mental Disorders” and “Cerebrovascular Diseases”. Based on the study, no indication of a bias toward older researchers was observed. This indicates the transnational funding scheme from ERA-NET NEURON is a relevant source of funding for young researchers at the early stages of their careers.

Young scientists report 2009

The ERA-NET NEURON performed a monitoring study to explore the position of young scientists in the 2009 ERA-Net NEURON joint transnational call “Technology Development”. Based on the study, no indication of a bias toward older researchers was observed. This indicates the transnational funding scheme from ERA-NET NEURON is a relevant source of funding for young researchers at the early stages of their careers.
