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.

The awards funded through this program have been made possible thanks to the generous support for like-minded organizations and donors.
