When Professor Narinder Kapur was President of the British Neuropsychological Society (BNS) and a member of the executive committee of the British Psychological Society (BPS) Division of Neuropsychology, he first introduced the Neuropsychology International Fellowship (NIF) program in 2011.

The prizes were primarily created to aid neuropsychologists from developing nations who were visiting the UK in order to advance their education and gain experience.
