Neuro Arts Research
Several organizations provide significant funding for research in neuroarts, supporting studies that explore the intersection of the arts, neuroscience, and health. The most notable include:
Make it
National Institutes of Health (NIH) – Particularly through the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in collaboration with NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), these bodies fund research on how the arts affect the brain and health outcomes. NIH also offers specific grants focused on arts-based interventions in health.
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) – One of the largest supporters of arts-related research, NEA provides Research Labs and Grants for Art Projects focused on the therapeutic benefits of the arts in mental and physical health.
Wellcome Trust – A global charity, the Wellcome Trust funds research exploring how the arts influence mental health, including grants for interdisciplinary projects combining neuroscience and the arts.
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative – This U.S. initiative supports projects that explore the brain’s connection to creativity and art-based therapies, advancing research in neurological and psychological contexts.
The Art for Brain Health Foundation – Provides smaller grants that support programs focused on the intersection of the arts and brain health, particularly for conditions such as Alzheimer's and dementia.
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) – RWJF funds projects that explore the impact of arts and culture on community health, often focusing on social determinants of health and cross-sector collaborations.
Johns Hopkins University International Arts + Mind Lab – Through collaborations and research funding, this center supports neuroarts research to uncover how the arts can be used to improve brain health and psychological well-being.
These organizations and foundations are key players in providing financial support for neuroarts research, contributing to the growing understanding of how the arts can positively impact health and neurological functions.
