Grants in India

Pays equity-free cash prizes to exhibiting startups that pitch live on the main stage at GITEX AI Kazakhstan.

Open

Funds new or newly applied ways to measure brain activity, connectivity or genomics across the lifespan, to predict what happens later.

Open

Funds highly novel approaches to measuring brain activity, connectivity or genomics repeatedly across the lifespan, on an exploratory footing.

Open

Funds pilot work before a larger trial of how addiction treatment and related services are delivered, paid for and reached.

Open

Funds next-generation sensors and bioelectronic devices that record behaviour in step with brain recordings, to build models of how the two connect.

Open

Funds early-stage work on getting proven hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice and language treatments adopted in real clinics and daily life.

Open

Funds high-risk addiction research that is sparse or absent from the institute's current portfolio — a revolutionary method, or a hypothesis with no precedent.

Open

Funds a biologic for a nervous system disorder from lead optimisation to phase I, with NIH-paid manufacturing and tox work — and the applicant keeps the IP.

Open

Funds computational genomics work — new analytical methods, early-stage tools, or hardening software the genomics community already relies on.

Open

Funds the exploratory version of the same computational genomics work — new methods, early tools, or hardening software the field depends on.

Open

Pays a postdoctoral researcher's fellowship at a host organisation in Europe, or abroad with a mandatory return phase, to build international research experience.

Open

Funds research into how preanalytical handling of biopsies and other biospecimens distorts biomarker results used in clinical assays.

Open

Funds technology anywhere in the connectomics pipeline — collection, reconstruction, analysis, dissemination — to make brain wiring diagrams faster and cheaper.

Open

Funds research using a screening trial's biorepository — serial blood samples collected before diagnosis, with decades of matched participant data.

Open

Funds translational research turning basic findings into clinical tools for communication disorders, with practical clinical impact required.

Open

Funds a confirmatory efficacy trial of a non-drug treatment or preventive intervention for mental disorders, in adults or children.

Open

Funds three years replicating target engagement for a psychosocial intervention and testing whether that engagement tracks clinical change.

Open

Funds two years establishing that a psychosocial intervention hits its target, then three replicating it and linking it to clinical change.

Open

Funds early-stage testing of a novel-mechanism drug or a device for mental disorders, designed to show a dose-dependent effect on the target.

Open

Funds a feasibility phase then a testing phase for a novel-mechanism drug or a device for mental disorders, with milestones between them.

Open

Funds a feasibility and infrastructure phase, then a well-powered trial, of an intervention aimed at how mental health services are organised and delivered.

Open

Funds a definitive trial of a mental health treatment or service in real community and practice settings, powered to settle the question.

Open

Funds a pilot effectiveness study of a mental health intervention — and requires it to test whether the intervention engages its presumed mechanism.

Open

Funds secondary analysis of vision-health data that already exists, and new statistical methods for getting more out of it.
