Science and Health Grants

Science and Health Grants
Science and health grants support research in neuroscience and immunology and their interrelationship in human health and disease. 
  • Brain and Immuno-Imaging: Research on imaging innovations that help reveal how the human brain functions normally, how disorders and injuries alter these functions, and how various therapies affect these conditions. Funded research also can focus on immune cell interactions with brain cells.
  • Clinical Neuroscience Research: Support for "first in humans" studies of patients with devastating brain diseases for which there currently is no effective treatment. Funded researchers set up controlled clinical studies in patients with a specific brain disease, based on promising animal studies suggesting that a specific therapy either treats the condition or prevents it from getting worse.
  • Neuroimmunology: A prior program that focused on studies of  immune-based therapies for primary brain tumors and metastases to the brain of other cancers; immune responses to infections in the brain, including viral encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral malaria, and prion diseases; and how the immune system affects the brain and the brain modifies immune function.
  • Human Immunology: A prior program that provided support for Dana Scholars, promising new investigators in patient-based immunology research. One area of particular interest was the brain.

Grantee Q&A: Aravinthan D.T. Samuel, Ph.D.

Traditionally viewed as a process that needs to be turned off in spinal cord injury, programmed cell death may, in fact, play a critical role in axon regeneration.

THE CHARLES A. DANA CENTER

The Dana Center provides Texas education leaders with new knowledge about teaching and learning. The Center also supports K–12 teachers and leaders working to implement high academic standards for all students.

NEUROSCIENCE AND THE LAW

Since 2007, the Dana Foundation has supported a grant to the AAAS to hold seminars for state and federal judges on emerging issues in neuroscience, as part of the Foundation’s Neuroscience and Law series. The seminars are designed to provide judges with a better understanding of the role that advances in neuroscience may play in making legal determinations.

Since its inception, the series has gained a national prominence, with waiting lists of judges wanting to attend. In 2009, the American Bar Association’s Judicial Education Award was given to the AAAS for the series. It was the first time the award was offered to a non-judicial group.

CAPITOL HILL BRIEFINGS

The Foundation supports a grant to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for a series of briefings designed to educate Congressional members and their staffs about topical issues in neuroscience.
