2026 WFN Grants-In-Aid

The WFN has been offering research grants to young neurologists since 2011.

Please click here for the list of recent prior grantees and reports.

The WFN mission is to "foster quality neurology and brain health worldwide" and this year the WFN is offering up to 5 grants of up to $10,000 each.

Examples of research projects that will be considered for funding include the following:

• Educational Research, such as research on neurological education and patient education.
• Research on improvement of neurological services
• Research that includes regional collaboration
• Disease-based research projects. (Please note that pure laboratory or “bench research” projects are out of the scope of this grant program).

Please note that grants related to funding or creation of neurological residency or fellowship training programs, or the creation of clinical services, will not be awarded. Also note that proposed project budgets should not include investigator stipends or travel-related expenses. Preference will be given to applications with Principal Investigators from low- and low-middle-income countries.

We look forward to reviewing applications for the 2026 WFN grant program.
