Grant to Activate Global Engagement (GAGE)
The Grant to Activate Global Engagement (GAGE) program provides funding to neurology organizations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to host educational and/or research meetings that highlight local research and education. Launched in 2020 in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the ANA leveraged its virtual Annual Meeting to foster global collaboration. Each participating organization receives a $2,000 grant in support of these efforts. A total of four (4) grants will be awarded in 2025.
This scholarship is offered biennially alongside the International Outreach Travel Scholarship (IOTS).
Eligible Applicants
Neurology and neuroscience organizations (i.e. associations, societies, non-governmental organizations, etc.) and/or higher education institutions.
