BNA Bursaries to attend Open Research Summer School
3rd Jul 2019
The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is delighted to be able to offer our members 'Credibility in Neuroscience' bursaries of up to £500 to attend the Open Research Summer School at Oxford University (16-20th September).
As we embark on our ‘Credibility in Neuroscience’ work, we know how important it is to 
take time to learn and hear more about the practical skills and tools you need to make sure your neuroscience research is open and reproducible. This bursary forms part of our commitment to you, our members, to make sure you can support ‘Credibility’ in your research and practice.
The deadline to register for the summer school is Monday 15th July, and the deadline to apply for the bursary is midnight on Wednesday 31st July. Don’t worry if you’ve already applied for a place to attend the school; you can still be awarded a bursary.
*If your attendance of the summer school is dependent on receiving a bursary from the BNA, please contact the BNA office asap.*
