Human Neuroscience Grants 2023

The UVA Brain Institute offers seed funding for transformative neuroscience research involving human subjects, including investigation of normal or abnormal brain function, clinical or translational research. 

Projects Awarded: 7

Project Period: November 15, 2023 - December 31, 2024

The program seeks to perform groundbreaking work that will differentiate our research enterprise. Proposed projects may be on any subject related to human neuroscience. In addition to research involving human subjects, this funding mechanism will also support research using large public databases and electronic medical records. Collaboration is encouraged but not required. Faculty from all schools at UVA are invited to apply.

Successful proposals will have high potential for scientific impact and plans for pursuing subsequent extramural funding. Awards of up to $75,000 will be given for the duration of up to 15 months (project period ends 12/31/2024). A 6-month No Cost Extension (NCE) may be requested and will be evaluated based on performance. 

After initial review, applicants may be invited for a short 5 - 10 minute oral presentation to the review committee for final selection. No written reviews will be returned to applicants.
