General Advice
Purpose
The Neurological Foundation’s purpose is to “Be a catalyst to improve the future quality of life for New Zealanders impacted by neurological conditions”. This includes diseases and disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The Neurological Foundation will accept applications for conferences or training courses aligned with this purpose, that contribute to our understanding of, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, or management of neurological conditions.Resubmission
If unsuccessful, applicants can resubmit their proposal in a subsequent grant round. However, the Scientific Advisory Committee believes that a third submission of an unsuccessful application is not appropriate. Therefore, only one resubmission of a conference or training course grant application will be accepted.
Research contracts
Successful applicants will be offered funding contracts that outline the conditions of the grant, including the following:- The host institution will administer the grant
- The grant will have a specific start date and end date
- The Foundation will expect to be acknowledged as a conference sponsor in printed and online conference materials. If this application requests funding for a keynote speaker, this person will be expected to provide an interview or public presentation for the Neurological Foundation during their time in New Zealand. These details can be negotiated at the time the grant is awarded
- A final report will be required within 3 months of the conference or training course
