About
us

NeuroScience Canada (NSC) is a national non-profit organization that develops and supports collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research across the neurosciences. Through partnering with the public, private and voluntary sectors, NeuroScience Canada connects the knowledge and resources available in this area to accelerate neuroscience research and funding and maximize the output of Canada’s world-class scientists and researchers.

Over the past ten years, we have raised more than $11.5 million, leveraged over $20 million of these funds with partnered funding, and funded 100 individual and teams of researchers.

We have developed partnerships with 26 Voluntary Health Organizations, nine government agencies, 23 universities, and built a network of 161 volunteers across the country.

We have given a voice to "brain disorders," raising awareness about their prevalence and impact on individuals, families, the economy and society.

But most important, we are giving hope to the millions of Canadians who are directly or indirectly touched by diseases, disorders, and injuries of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system.
