IBRO-LARC Programs 2019 (January – June) - FALAN - Federación de Sociedades Latinoamericana y el Caribe de Neurociencias

IBRO-LARC is now accepting applications for the following programs:

Short Stays | Travel Grants | Schools | Short Courses | PROLAB

IBRO-LARC Short Stays

IBRO’s Latin America Regional Committee (LARC) will evaluate applications for funding (up to 2500 euros) for short research/training lab visits within the Latin American region to take place between January 1st and June 30th, 2019. Applications must be submitted online. Applications by e-mail will not be accepted.

Candidates should not be older than 40 years. Priority will be given to doctoral students and postdocs who wish to attend a foreign lab within the region and who plan to link their lab stay with attendance to a course or Congress. When the short lab stay is linked to attendance to a course or Congress, an application for a LARC Travel Grant must also be submitted. Applications for activities within the applicant’s own country will be considered only if adequately justified. Applicants must supply an activity plan, a letter of support from their director – specifically for the proposed activities – and a letter of acceptance from the host institution.

Deadline for applications: October 10, 2018 (11:59 p.m. CET).

IBRO-LARC Travel Grants

IBRO’s Latin America Regional Committee (LARC) will evaluate possible funding (up to 2500 euros) for attending courses/workshops and/or presenting results at meetings within the region to take place between January 1st and June 30th, 2019. Applications must be submitted online. Applications by e-mail will not be accepted.

Candidates should not be older than 40 years. Priority will be given to doctoral students and postdocs who plan to link their attendance to a course or congress with a research or training lab stay. When the attendance to a course or Congress is linked to a short lab stay, an application for a LARC Short Stay Grant must also be submitted. Applications for activities within the applicant’s own country will be considered only if adequately justified. Applicants must supply an activity plan and a letter of support from their director – specifically for the proposed activities.

APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS

1) Applicants that have previously received an IBRO LARC travel grant will only be eligible for another grant after a 3 year interval.
2) Only one applicant from the same lab and director working on the same subject will be accepted.
3) Travel grant applicants will be classified into 2 categories:

Graduate Students/ Ph.D. candidates: For students below 35 years old.
Postdoctoral students: Below 40 years old.

4) Travel grants will be classified into two categories:

Short distances: 800 Euros (e.g. South-South)
Long distances: 1200 Euros (e.g. South-North)

Deadline for applications: October 10, 2018 (11:59 p.m. CET).

IBRO-LARC Schools

IBRO’s Latin America Regional Committee (LARC) will evaluate possible funding for Schools targeted to advanced students and young researchers in the field of neuroscience throughout Latin America. The current round of funding is for schools taking place between January 1st and June 30th, 2019.

This activity should foster cooperation among regional neuroscientists (students and researchers). Failure to incorporate participants from the region seriously forfeits chances for approval. Contact any LARC member if you have doubts about your proposal.

Within 60 days after the activity, the coordinator must submit a report on the event and the use of IBRO funds. A summary of up to 200 words in English should also be submitted suitable for posting to the IBRO website. Please send all this information to the IBRO Secretariat.

Please Note:

The schools organized should be of a minimum duration of one week and 40% of the time should be allotted for practical activities.
While IBRO provides organizers with financial and administrative support, full responsibility for the school itself rests with the local organizing committee and/or institution. IBRO recommends organizers request international students purchase health insurance coverage for the duration of their attendance at the school.
At least one neuroethics component must be included in the school.

Deadline for applications: October 10, 2018 (11:59 p.m. CET).

IBRO-LARC Short Courses

IBRO’s Latin America Regional Committee (LARC) will evaluate possible funding (up to 3,500 euros) for basic neuroscience courses, workshops or symposia taking place within the region. The current round of funding is for courses taking place between January 1st and June 30th, 2019.

Deadline for applications: October 10, 2018 (11:59 p.m. CET).

Apply here.

IBRO-LARC PROLAB

This program seeks to foster scientific collaboration and development of human resources among Latin American and Caribbean Neuroscience research groups. PROLAB uses the neuroscience scientific network of the region and provides economic support to joint research projects. Its main goal is to diminish the asymmetries in the development of the neurosciences in the continent, thus allowing established research groups to set up collaboration with emerging groups and also opening a space for horizontal collaboration among established groups within the region. The current round of funding is for courses taking place between January 1st and June 30th, 2019.

Grant amount: 4000 euros

Deadline for applications: October 10, 2018 (11:59 p.m. CET).

Apply here.
