Brain Canada is pleased to announce the launch of the 2025 Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research program, which supports early-career researchers as they pursue bold, new ideas to solve the mysteries of the brain. The purpose of the Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research program is to accelerate novel and transformative research that will fundamentally change our understanding of nervous system function and dysfunction and their impact on health. The ultimate goal is to reduce the social and economic burden of neurological and mental health illnesses through prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment. 

The 2025 competition will support up to 20 grants of $100,000 each, over two years.
