They are looking for projects that will help sufferers by advancing our ability to understand and treat migraine. As a result, seed money grants are available for transformational projects that will ultimately lead to better treatment and quality of life for sufferers of migraine and migraine disorders

While all proposals relevant to basic or clinical migraine research are welcome, they are particularly interested in translational projects and those related to migraine variants, childhood migraine, and chronic migraine.

Award value: A maximum of $50,000 will be awarded for each grant.

Duration: The expected project duration is one year.

Application deadline: 3 August 2108

The intake for new students to the next Master of Headache Disorders at University of Copenhagen is now opened. The 18 first Masters in Headache Disorders are in the last phase of their program now focusing on their Master thesis and will graduate in June 2018. The program has been very successful due to excellent top ranked international lecturers, our sponsors and the very dedicated and highly motivated students

IHS offers grants and fellowships to young people to further their studies in Headache Medicine.

Two programmes are specifically aimed at young people from developing nations – the Education Committee ‘Headache Trainee Programme’ and the Trainees and Residents SIG ‘Short-stay Scholarship’. The information and application for both these programmes can be found HERE.

We are often asked by young people from these countries, who are not as in touch with the major research and clinical headache centres and headache specialists, for suggestions as to who they can approach to discuss a possible placement, and during the Emerging Leaders session held during IHC 2017 we said IHS would post a list of headache centres and mentors willing to accept fellows on the website.

We would be most grateful for your help with this. If you could host one of these Trainees or Scholars for the short period of time for these programmes (up to 3 months for the Trainee programme and from 4-6 weeks for the Short-stay Scholarship) please let us know. All we will need from you is:

• Institution name
• Mentor name
• Contact email address
• Type of placement: Clinical; Clinical Research; Basic Research; Combination (please

Please send to Carol Taylor or contact Carol if you would like any further information
