TNS RESEARCH GRANT 

Grant Submissions are Currently Closed.

The Texas Neurological Society (TNS) Board of Directors has approved the establishment of a competitive grant program to support research in areas of importance to TNS and the patients served by its members. 
  
The primary objectives of this grant program are to promote high-quality research initiatives that advance neurological clinical practice, medical education, disease awareness, prevention strategies, and patient-centered programs. Funded projects should demonstrate a clear and meaningful benefit to TNS members, practicing neurologists, and patients with neurological disorders across the state of Texas. 
  
Eligibility for application includes, but is not limited to, TNS members, neurology residents, and medical students training in Texas. Neuroscientists and non-member neurologists practicing in Texas are also eligible to apply; however, membership in the Texas Neurological Society is strongly encouraged. Neurology-focused patient care organizations within the state of Texas are likewise eligible to submit applications. 
  
All applications will undergo review by the Grants Committee and the TNS Board of Directors. Grant recipient(s) will be formally announced at the 2026 Annual Summer Conference (July 2026). Awardees will be invited to provide a progress presentation at the 2027 Annual Winter Conference (February 2027). 
  
Each application must include a comprehensive and itemized budget proposal. The Society intends to fund multiple projects, with a maximum award amount of $10,000 per project. 
  
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
  • Are indirect costs allowed on the budget? The grant's funds can be used for any direct or indirect expenses related to the project for which the grant was awarded. TNS will not provide additional funds more than the grant's limits (Maximum $10,000 per grant). 
  • Are there any limitations on the budget? There are no limitations on the budget if it is equal to or less than the maximum limit above. The more the budget is detailed, and the more it makes sense to the reviewer the better chances for the grant application to be selected. Presenting the budget in simple itemized expenses in a table form can be sufficient if the expense item is clear. If further clarification is needed of the budget items, the applicant can add as they see fit. 
  • Is there a preferred length for the information of the grant? Yes - please keep your description to 700 words.
