International Association for the Study of Pain

We have been collaborating with the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) since 2004 and have developed the following three (3) programs:

Scan|Design Foundation Collaborative Research Grants

This program encourages and supports collaborative, multidisciplinary reserach between two ro more research groups located in the five Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) and the United States.  Grant awards up to $25,000.

Scan|Design Foundation International Trainee Fellowships

This program provides two (2) 12-month fellowships to support training in all aspects of pain research.  Fellowship stipend:  $50,000.

Scan|Design Foundation Early Career Grants

This programs awards grants up to $20,000 to IASP members for pain research early in their professional careers.
