Research grant

The Board of the ECPHM is pleased to announce the annual availability of one to two ECPHM research grants of 15,000 Euro each for Residents.

Objectives: 

The research grant shall enable Residents to carry out a specific research project as outlined in their training program. Since this is a competitive funding scheme, successful applicants also must provide evidence for their capability of writing grant applications and acquiring external funding for research activities.

Submissions are received by the board and the Secretary reviews the topics in general. Based on the topic of the proposals, two independent reviewers, not being a member of ECPHM and not affiliated to the applicants, are requested to review the proposal on applicability, scientific soundness and executive practicalities. The board of ECPHM decides, based on the submitted reviews, which proposals are granted.
