Nonprofit Launches Groundbreaking Misophonia Neuroscience Student Research Grant

soQuiet, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing understanding and support for individuals affected by misophonia, proudly announces the launch of the Innovations/Kent Misophonia Neuroscience Student Research Grant. This grant aims to foster pioneering research projects that contribute to the world’s knowledge of misophonia, a condition characterized by abnormally strong psychological and physiological reactions to specific sounds.

Misophonia can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, affecting relationships, mental health, and overall well-being. Recognizing the need for further scientific exploration in this field, soQuiet is committed to supporting the next generation of researchers in unraveling the complexities of misophonia through the newly established grant.

This new research grant seeks to fuel academic studies into possible brain-based causes, mechanisms, and treatments of misophonia. The grant is being created thanks to the generous support of Innovations PCI and the Kent Family.

Key features of the Neuroscience Misophonia Student Research Grant include:

Financial Support: The grant provides up to $5000 in financial assistance to graduate students pursuing misophonia research within the field of neuroscience.

Collaboration Opportunities: Grant recipients will be encouraged to collaborate with other researchers and institutions, fostering a sense of community and shared knowledge within the misosphere.

Dissemination of Findings: soQuiet is committed to helping grant recipients share their research findings with the broader scientific community and the public, facilitating the translation of research into practical applications and support for individuals affected by misophonia.

Cris Edwards, Founder and President of soQuiet, expressed enthusiasm for the new initiative: “This Misophonia Neuroscience Student Research Grant is a crucial step forward in advancing our understanding of misophonia at its core. By supporting talented graduate students in their research endeavors, we have the opportunity to uncover new insights that may lead to more effective interventions and improved quality of life for those affected by this complex disorder.”

soQuiet has offered misophonia student research grants for two years and, as part of this announcement, is also increasing the amount of their standard grants to $1500.

Applications for these grants will be accepted starting February 1st, 2024. Interested students are encouraged to visit the soQuiet website at soQuiet.org/grants for more information on eligibility criteria and application details.
