International Brain Research Organization (IBRO)

This grant continues support for the IBRO/Dana Foundation Brain Awareness Week grants program for the 2024 campaign. The program provides grants of up to $1,250 USD for outreach and engagement activities in Africa, Asia/Pacific, Latin America, and United States/Canada. 

Both IBRO and the Foundation recognize the partnership through coordinated promotion of the call for proposals, award announcements, and any other grant-related communications. The annual competitive process ensures that the best ideas and most innovative approaches to neuroscience outreach and engagement receive funding. The heightened activity in regions around the world and social media promotion generated by participants amplifies the importance of neuroscience and results in increased visibility to Brain Awareness Week, IBRO, and the Dana Foundation. 

The IBRO/Dana grantees are required to report on the results of their activities at the close of the 2024 campaign, and their reports are shared with the Foundation. 

This grant supports the Dana Education objective to empower people of all ages to use neuroscience in their everyday lives by strengthening their knowledge of the field’s real-world applications and ethical considerations through sustained informal education programs.
