Description: |
The BrainsCAN Accelerator Program is a strategic internal funding opportunity with the explicit goal of increasing and accelerating interdisciplinary research within the BrainsCAN initiative and, where appropriate, with our partners. The Accelerator Awards promote curiosity-driven research and high-impact projects in the area of cognitive neuroscience, with the understanding that these may also be high-risk. This commitment to supporting fundamental, blue-sky scientific research will advance understanding of the brain?in health and disease?across the lifespan.
The Accelerator Program is purposefully designed to push the limits of cognitive neuroscience and transform its landscape by supporting high-risk / high-reward research programs that could not be funded through traditional channels. BrainsCAN Accelerator Program will be following a two-phase approach, Stimulus and Full Accelerator.
The initial ?Stimulus? phase will fund the targeted objectives to demonstrate the feasibility of the high-risk elements of a conceptual research program. A Stimulus project application should be focused experiments designed to achieve the critical milestone of a larger conceptual transformative research program. |
