Research Grants
The AHS is committed to providing access to current research opportunities. To that end, we have curated a list of current funding opportunities supporting researchers in their pursuit of new insights and treatments for headache disorders.
Please refer back to this page as new opportunities will be posted regularly.
Opportunities from AHS
AHS Investigator-Initiated Research Awards
The American Headache Society seeks applications exclusively from AHS members for grant funding that will support investigator-initiated research projects. Projects should contribute to the core goal of the AHS – improving the lives of people impacted by migraine and other headache disorders. Priority will be given to early-stage investigators, basic science grants, postdoctoral fellows moving to independence, and collaborative projects aiming to bring established investigators from other fields into headache medicine.
Headache and Migraine Competitive Grant Program
In collaboration with the American Headache Society (AHS), Pfizer funded a highly competitive grant program designed to support groundbreaking quality improvement initiatives that address critical gaps in headache medicine and migraine care.
Across three funding cycles, the program invited research project proposals with the potential to reshape headache medicine and migraine care through the development of widely applicable tools and measurable improvements in patient care.
Innovative Project Award
This grant, co-funded with the American Heart Association, seeks to support innovative, high-impact research aimed at advancing discoveries related to the effects of migraine and other headache disorders on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. One award, up to $200,000 for a two-year project is available. Pre-proposals are due December 10, 2025.
Other Grant Opportunities
Migraine Science Collaborative Travel Grants
The Migraine Science Collaborative (MSC) wants to highlight the work of scientists early in their careers. To that end, 12 Travel Grants per year will be awarded to those who have had their abstract for a presentation or poster accepted at a conference and are attending that conference.
