The International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) is a global organization dedicated to supporting neuroscience research and training. IBRO fosters international collaboration among neuroscientists, promotes neuroscience education, and offers funding to early-career researchers to expand their expertise through laboratory exchanges. The organization aims to contribute to advancing brain research and fostering the professional development of young scientists in the field of neuroscience. By offering unique fellowship programs, IBRO provides opportunities to broaden scientific knowledge, strengthen research networks, and encourage the exchange of ideas across borders. Their programs help enhance neuroscience research through international collaboration, enriching the professional growth of the next generation of neuroscientists.

The IBRO Exchange Fellowships Program 2025 offers funding for early-career neuroscientists to conduct laboratory exchanges that will enhance their scientific training. These fellowships provide a platform for PhD students and early-career postdoctoral fellows to gain exposure to different research environments, fostering professional growth and increasing research capabilities. The fellowship program is designed to facilitate knowledge exchange, support the development of innovative research, and strengthen the applicant’s home lab through new collaborations. The grant covers exchange expenses, such as travel and research costs, allowing participants to spend time in a host laboratory for a structured exchange lasting 3 to 4 months. Fellowships are available in regions including Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Africa, and North America.
