Latest Call for applications
Tenovus Scotland and The Neurosciences Foundation are excited to offer a jointly fully funded 3 year PhD studentship in the field of stroke research. We wish to fund one PhD studentship at a West of Scotland university (Glasgow Caledonian University, University of Glasgow, University of Strathclyde or University of the West of Scotland, including related research facilities), commencing at the beginning of the 2025-26 academic year. The deadline for applications is 5pm Friday 16th May 2025.
Please go to our Researchers page for more details.
We provide full or part funding for conditions such as brain tumours, stroke, motor neurone disease (MND), head-injury, Parkinson’s Disease, depression, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis (MS), epilepsy, to research groups based in Scotland.
There are three key areas of focus for our funding at the moment.
1. Glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer)
We are working with Brain Research UK and this has led to a successful application for a Studentship in Glioblastoma at the University of Dundee and we are supporting work at the University of Edinburgh.
3. Prevention of stroke
Along with TENOVUS Scotland we are supporting work at the University of Strathclyde into possible ways of reducing the likelihood of bleeds in the brain – known as hemorrhagic stroke.
“It is a well known fact that new medical treatments take a long time to be evaluated for use on patients and trials can be hugely expensive. For researchers to get major funding, they need to do preliminary work to convince reviewers and this is where we come in by providing early stage grants of around £10,000.”
Professor Dave WyperLead Clinical Trustee
Our vision is to have the researchers that we have supported go on to secure larger grants for further projects based on the early-stage projects which we have helped to fund.
We welcome early approaches by researchers who might want to seek funding from The Neurosciences Foundation.
Watch some of our researchers speaking about how our funding helped their research projects into neurological conditions.
In order to fund research projects we raise money from charitable trusts, fundraising, and individual donations.
