ISN travel grants for trainees to visit centres of excellence

The ISN will annually award 2-4grants, each of up to 5000 euros (approximately 5890 US dollars), to support visits of neuropathology trainees in low- or middle-income countries (see below) to neuropathology centres of excellence. The primary aim of such visits should be to provide training for the grant recipient and to promote future educational interactions between the host department and that of the trainee. The application, with a brief explanation of the reasons for the visit and intended benefits as well as basic costings, should be made by the trainee’s head of department if applicable, or another senior member of staff in his/her institution, and should be accompanied by the applicant’s CV. In addition a letter of support should be sent by the head of the neuropathology department in the host institution. The application , CV and letter of support should be emailed to the Secretary General of the ISN, Monika Hofer (monika.hofer@ouh.nhs.net). Applications may be made at any time, and awards will be made available through the host institution. In exceptional circumstances, ISN reserves the right to increase the grant value on an individual case by case basis.
