[ Nuovo-Soldati Foundation for Cancer Research | Fellowship for young medical researchers ]

Based in Vaduz (Liechtenstein), the Nuovo-Soldati research foundation offers annual fellowships to young medical researchers to support research projects centered on cancer cells. The goal of these projects should be to improve our understanding of carcinogenisis or to develop new techniques or treatments for cancer patients.
 
Preference will be given to projects that take place outside the fellows country of origin or within centres of excellence with their home country.
 
Who can apply: the fellowships are open to all medically qualified candidates or medical students at the end of their training who work in specialities such as pathology, oncology, radiotherapy or surgery.
 
Funding and duration: max. EUR 40’000 for 12 months, renewable for another year.
Eligible costs: the funding proposed is for the candidate’s own expenses (salary, travel, fees at the host institution etc.). The aim of the Soldati Fellowships is not to finance the project itself. Thus applications where the proposed budget is centred on the purchase of equipment, consumables, reagents etc. will be rejected. There is however some flexibility such that applications in which a minority of the budget is destined to these ends will be considered.
 
Deadline: 1 December 2019
Interviews: 6 February 2020
Decision: February 2020
Start of the project: autumn 2020
