Planning Grants for future Dana Centers for Neuroscience & Society

Summary/Description

The Dana Foundation is seeking strategic partners to design and host a Center for Neuroscience & Society, one that is deeply committed to rigorous interdisciplinary training in neuroscience, that engages in research with an eye towards addressing practical issues raised by advancing neuroscience, and that grows a new generation of interdisciplinary experts who are empowered to embed neuroscience and its implications in a societal context.

The Foundation is requesting proposals for five-month planning grants designed to assist grantees in developing a detailed plan for a potential Dana Center for Neuroscience & Society. Grantees will receive up to $150,000 to create a vision for a center, organize and gather expertise, outline potential programs, and pilot-test a potential model for training and/or education. Proposals for planning grants are due July 6, 2022, with a start date as early as October 1, 2022.

You can find the full RFP in the Funding and Grants section on the Foundation’s website.

Please feel free to share this RFP with your colleagues and anyone who may be interested.  Any questions should be directed to Ishan Dasgupta at idasgupta@dana.org
