The Brains Unlimited Pioneer Fund makes funds available for innovative pilot studies. These pilot studies should result in a proof-of-evidence that substantiates and increases the likelihood of further grant funding for follow-up research.
The objective of the Brains Unlimited Pioneer Fund is to support research about the human body carried out by UM researchers in the Scannexus MRI scanner laboratory.
