1.9 million Euro available for pain research

The Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) has made 1.9 million Euro available for research into the effectiveness of medicinal cannabis for neuropathic pain. The Ministry instructed ZonMw, a Dutch stimulus fund for healthcare, to look for suitable research. The subsidy will be awarded to one Dutch research organisation, knowledge institute or other type of organisation.

A maximum of 1.9 million Euro is available for the entire project over a maximum period of four years.
