The NSF supports research into brain diseases. We are a registered charity founded in 1978. We support research which will ultimately help patients who have injured, or developed diseases of their brain and nervous system.
Since The Neurosciences Foundation was set up in 1978. The Foundation has granted over £1 million to early career doctors, researchers, and scientists. This funding has helped researchers to explore new techniques and diagnostic treatments into neurological conditions.
Read about the projects and studentships we have helped to fund here – https://neurosciencesfoundation.org.uk/we-provide-full-or-part-funding-for-studentships-and-projects/.
These conditions typically include –
- epilepsy
- Parkinson’s Disease
- brain tumours
- stroke
- head injury
- schizophernia
- MS
- MND
- dementia
Applications for Funding Review and Recommendations
All of the research funded by The Neurosciences Foundation has to be conducted in Scotland.
The Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) is the Trust’s internal peer review committee. Our MAC conducts a rigorous peer review of the applications for funding. It is made up of independent experts, who, on behalf of the charity, assess applications and make recommendations for funding to the Board of Trustees. This is done before the Board of Trustees can decide which of the projects should receive funding.
Trustees, members of the MAC and external expert advisors all give their time freely to this process.
