Application procedure and further remarks

•  Applications can be submitted before April 1 and before October 1.
• Applications are assessed by the HRSMC Research Committee. This committee creates a final ranking and advises the HRSMC Board and Scientific Director. The final decision will be made by the HRSMC Board and Scientific Director.
• Annually, a budget of approximately €50,000 is available for the combined HRSMC Fellowships for experienced researchers and PhD students. The exact amount depends on the annual budget estimate and other HRSMC activities planned for the year. If, by April, 50% of the available budget has not been fully allocated, the remaining portion will be added to the budget for applications in October. The HRSMC Board aims to allocate the entire annual budget to high-quality applications.
  However, if the total annual budget is not completely used, the remainder will be transferred to the fellowship budget of the next year.
• The visit cannot be planned during the last half year of the PhD contract.
• If the actual visit is shorter than the proposed visit, the subsistence costs will be adjusted proportionally.
• After approval, the visit should start within one year of the approval date.

PLEASE NOTE THAT APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE SENT TO HRSMC-SCIENCE@UVA.NL
