Founded in 1967, the International Neuropsychological Society (INS) is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of neuropsychology and related brain health professions through interdisciplinary collaboration, global outreach, and innovative research.
The INS special project fund recipient is “Assessing Chronic Stress in HIV-Exposed Children Using Hair Cortisol Concentration: A Feasibility Sub-Study of the Healthy Child Study,” headed by Dr. Kaylee van Whye, the Neurocognitive Study Lead for the Healthy Child Study led out of Stellenbosch University in South Africa. The project integrates a non-invasive biomarker of stress (hair cortisol) with neuropsychological and environmental assessments to advance understanding of developmental outcomes in HIV-exposed uninfected children.
Congratulations to Dr. van Whye and her team. We look forward to seeing the results of your research!

Matthews Fund applications will be accepted from November 3rd through December 15. Decisions regarding funding will be communicated to applicants at or after the INS meeting in February 2026.
Former INS President Chuck Matthews was a strong advocate for making INS instrumental in developing neuropsychology throughout the world. INS instituted the Charles G. Matthews International Neuropsychological Development Fund in his name in 2003 to support Educational and Training activities such as workshops, meetings and webinars in countries where neuropsychology is less well developed/resourced.
In 2022, Matthews Fund received a donation to expand the actions being covered. The GEC identified the need to support the development of Research and Clinical programs in countries where neuropsychology is less well developed.
