Neuratia Labs Opens Fully Sponsored Research Fellowship

Neuratia Labs Opens Fully Sponsored Research Fellowship

Six month international fellowship offers researchers access to AI powered research infrastructure, expert mentorship, and an estimated US$5,000 in fully sponsored support.

Dubai, UAE | July 1, 2026 – Neuratia Labs has officially announced the launch of the Neuratia Research Fellows Program 2026, a fully sponsored six month fellowship designed to empower researchers working at the intersection of neuroscience, neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, computational neuroscience, and precision brain health. 

Applications are open from July 1 to July 31, 2026, with selected fellows receiving comprehensive research support valued at approximately US$5,000.

The program aims to help researchers overcome some of the biggest challenges in modern scientific research, including fragmented datasets, limited computational resources, and the lack of structured research infrastructure. 

Beyond financial support, the fellowship provides access to advanced research tools, technical expertise, publication guidance, and a global community of collaborators committed to accelerating scientific discovery.

Building the Infrastructure Behind the Next Generation of Brain Research

As neuroscience becomes increasingly data driven, researchers need more than traditional grants. They require scalable computing infrastructure, reproducible research workflows, and access to experts across multiple disciplines.

The Neuratia Research Fellows Program has been designed to provide this complete ecosystem. Selected fellows will gain full access to ONYX Research Cloud, Neuratia Labs’ cloud native neuroinformatics platform, along with one-on-one mentorship, computational neuroscience support, statistical consulting, study design assistance, publication guidance, and opportunities to collaborate with researchers, clinicians, and innovators from around the world.

The fellowship is open to a wide range of applicants, including PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, MBBS students, MD residents, faculty members, clinical researchers, early career investigators, and independent scientists working across neuroscience and related disciplines.

Founder Highlights the Need for Better Research Infrastructure

Speaking about the initiative, Affaan Shaikh, Founder and CEO of Neuratia Labs, emphasized that scientific progress depends not only on new discoveries but also on the infrastructure that enables researchers to produce reliable and reproducible work.

“The future of brain health depends not only on scientific breakthroughs, but on the infrastructure that enables those breakthroughs. Outstanding researchers are often constrained by fragmented data, inconsistent methodologies, and limited computational resources.

Through the Neuratia Research Fellows Program, we are investing in the people shaping the future of neuroscience by providing the infrastructure, mentorship, and collaborative environment needed to produce rigorous, reproducible, and clinically meaningful research.”

The fellowship is built around the principles of reproducibility, transparency, collaboration, and translational impact. Throughout the six month program, fellows will receive:

  • Full access to ONYX Research Cloud
  • Individual mentorship from experienced researchers and domain experts
  • Support for research methodology, computational neuroscience, and statistical analysis
  • Publication guidance and collaborative authorship opportunities
  • An official Neuratia Research Fellowship Certificate and digital credential
  • Membership in the Neuratia Labs global neuroscience research community

Applications Open for the 2026 Cohort

Applications for the inaugural 2026 cohort are open from July 1 through July 31, 2026. The fellowship is fully sponsored, representing an estimated value of US$5,000 for each selected fellow.
