Research Grants
The American Headache Society is now making it easier for its members to access opportunities for research funding. Please refer back to this page as new opportunities will be posted regularly.
AHS Investigator Initiated Research Awards
The American Headache Society is seeking applications exclusively from AHS members for grant funding that will support investigator-initiated research projects. Two awards, each up to $50,000, are available. Projects should contribute to the core goal of the AHS – improving the lives of people impacted by migraine and other headache disorders. Applicants must submit the electronic application and all supporting materials no later than Monday, December 2, 2025 (11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time).
Headache & Migraine Competitive Grant Program
Funding for quality improvement work that address gaps in headache medicine is available through the AHS Headache and Migraine Competitive Grant Program, in collaboration with Pfizer. Projects are expected to produce widely used information or tools in the field and lead to measurable improvements in healthcare services for individuals with headache.
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.
International Headache Society Research Grants, Awards, and Scholarships
The International Headache Society (IHS) offers various grants and awards annually. These grants have assisted many young researchers in building an academic and clinical career in the field of headache, throughout the years.
