Eligibility Criteria

The Neurological Foundation’s mission is “Be a catalyst to improve the future quality of life for New Zealanders impacted by neurological conditions”.

The Neurological Foundation will accept applications for research aligned with this mission, including biomedical, bioengineering, clinical, and epidemiological research. The Foundation will accept applications for research that contributes to our understanding of, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, or management of neurological conditions. The research proposal should have a clear outcome, which will add to knowledge about neurological disorders. The Foundation will accept applications designed to enhance knowledge about the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological disorders, but applications that deal only with the management of mental health disorders will not be considered.
