The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience, in partnership with the Office of Research and Foundation Relations, will present a workshop to help acquaint researchers at BU with the Fund’s mission, funding priorities, programs, and grant application protocols.

The McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience is an independent charitable organization, established by the McKnight Foundation, that works to bring science closer to the day when diseases of the brain and behavior can be accurately diagnosed, prevented, and treated. The Endowment Fund supports innovative research through three competitive annual awards that seek out investigators whose research shows promise in bringing society closer to preventing, treating, and curing many devastating diseases. Research supported by the Fund has furthered understanding of such impairments as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and many others.
