Neurological Research Funding
The Bryant Stokes Neurological Research Fund (BSNRF) supports scientific research projects aimed at improving the lives of people affected by neurological conditions, whilst supporting our Western Australian researchers.
This program awards merit-based grants to researchers based in WA, whose applications are subject to external independent review by national and international peers.
The fund has a particular focus on neurological research across the translational pipeline.
Through a merit-based selection process, overseen by the BSNRF Executive Committee, funds are quarantined for the different career stages: early-career and mid-career researchers as well as a limited number of established researchers.

"I am incredibly grateful and humbled as one of the successful recipients of the BSNRF grant. Through the generosity of the Sarich family, my team is able pursue a line of research enquiry that is pivotal to generate pre-clinical evidence to investigate whether a nutraceutical-based intervention can delay, prevent or reverse the progression of multiple sclerosis."
Dr Virginie Lam, Mid-Career Researcher and Lead Investigator
