Early Career Scientific Development Grant in Paediatric Endocrinology

Paediatric Endocrinology Research

The Early Career Scientific Development Grant offers financial support to paediatric endocrinologists and basic scientists for the purpose of gathering information and experience on a specific research issue OR on a laboratory technique in the field of paediatric endocrinology.

An Early Career Scientific Development Grant can be used to finance a short-term visit to an external laboratory/hospital/institute in order to:

Learn a new technique
Troubleshoot on existing methods
Discuss new methods/techniques in a research seminar
Compile statistics on joint research projects
Test samples in the framework of a joint research project

Alternatively, the grant may be used to finance the visit of an outside expert in order to receive essential guidance, consultation or advice at the requester’s home institute.

Grant information

A maximum of three grants of up to €2,500 each is available on an annual basis.
The grant covers travel and housing expenses only. Personal living expenses are not included. When the research is performed at the home institution, no travel or housing costs can be covered.
For external research stays, the grant will support research materials and costs at a rate of €100 per week with a maximum of €500 for the time of the grant.
For research performed at the home institution, research materials and costs can be supported at a rate of €250 per week with a maximum of €2500 for the time of the grant. Applicants must provide sufficient motive for using funding for research materials and report this in the Grant Report Form. The grant will not cover personnel costs.
The Science Committee can award more than three grants a year in extraordinary circumstances.
If all applications within a quarter are deemed poor in quality the Science Committee reserves the rights to withhold the award.
Either the applicant, host or sponsor must be an ESPE member in good standing.
No Principal Investigator can hold two Early Career Scientific Development Grants at any one time. If they wish to apply again, they must have completely finished their previous project. Principal Investigators can however be supporting investigators in new applications whilst they hold a grant as PI. Applications will be selected on merit as per usual.
