About Brain Research Trust

Brain Research Trust is a UK medical research funder focused on neurological conditions, with a strong emphasis on translational projects that can lead to new treatments and better outcomes for patients. Its grants are concentrated in three priority areas: brain tumours, acquired brain and spinal cord injury, and headache and facial pain, and it supports both pre-clinical and clinical research as well as training the next generation of researchers. It appears to favor investigator-led academic research with clear disease relevance, often backing mechanistic studies, biomarkers, brain injury mapping, and fellowships that build independent clinical and research careers.

Competitive, openly advertised research grants and fellowships for UK-based applicants; awards are typically up to £400,000 for projects over as long as three years, or up to £300,000 for fellowships covering salary and research costs. No unsolicited proposals are accepted, and funding appears to run on set call cycles with preliminary applications and interviews for some programs.
