TNS RESEARCH GRANT 

Grant Submissions are Currently Closed.

The TNS board approved a grant to fund research in an area of interest for TNS members and their patients. 
  
The goals of the grant are to encourage research aimed at improving and supporting neurological practices, education, disease awareness and prevention as well as patient supported activities. Approved grants should benefit TNS membership, neurologists and patients with neurological diseases in Texas. 
  
The grant application is open (but not limited) to TNS members, neurology residents, and medical students in Texas. Neuroscientists and non-TNS neurologists in the state of Texas may also apply; however, we strongly encourage those applicants to become a member of TNS. 
  
Neurology patient care organizations in the state of Texas may also apply for the grant.
   
Applications will be received by the TNS Grants Committee as well as the TNS Board. Grant winner(s) will be announced at the 2026 TNS Annual Summer Conference in San Antonio (July) and be invited to present their progress at the 2027 TNS Annual Winter Conference in February 2027. 
  
Grants require a detailed budget proposal; TNS will give out grants for multiple projects with a maximum funding of $10,000 per project/grant. 
  
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.
