Inspire Discovery: Sponsor a Travel Award

CNS is inviting sponsors to support travel awards for the 2026 Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC. Contributions of USD $500 or more are welcome, and even one-time donations can make a meaningful impact. Departments, institutions, or individuals can sponsor one or multiple awards, and there’s also the option to dedicate an award in honor of a colleague—past or present.

We also encourage you to check with your university or research institution to see if they offer resources such as an internationalization fund, global engagement fund, or programs that support academic development and early career researchers—you may be surprised at what’s available.

Sponsors will be recognized on the CNS website, in the meeting program, during the meeting, and in our direct communications with awardees. It’s a valuable opportunity to promote your organization while supporting emerging voices in cognitive neuroscience.

While institutes, centers, and departments with a neuroscience focus are ideal sponsors, we encourage outreach to any group that may be interested in supporting the field. If you have suggestions or contacts in mind, we’d love to hear from you.

If you would like to sponsor one or more travel awards this year, please contact meeting@cogneurosociety.org

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing many of you in Vancouver, B.C., Canada!

Each Awardee will receive a ribbon and a stipend of $500 USD to help cover travel and registration costs to attend the Annual Meeting.
