Momentum Grants

The Momentum Grants program builds upon the success of the Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research program, which provides funding to early-career researchers to build a foundation of research excellence and innovation in Canada. By investing in these researchers, we foster a culture of scientific excellence and promote the growth of their careers as they make significant contributions to their fields of research.
