The objective of the EFSD/CDS/Lilly Research Fellowships is to encourage collaborative research in the field of diabetes. Applications for Fellowships will be accepted from applicants working full-time at a non-profit institution in China to carry out a scientific project in a recognised non-profit research institution in Europe or its associated countries. Applicants should have demonstrated their ability in the field of diabetes research.

Two Fellowships will be awarded annually, each in the sum of up to Euro 50,000 (fifty thousand). The money awarded will be paid into the account of the European host institution.

Applications may be made by any scientist or clinician under the age of 38 years on 1 January in the year of the award. All applications must be prepared on the official forms and completed in strict accordance with the detailed instructions to be found on these forms.

Applications will be subject to scientific review by a specialised and independent ad hoc committee. It is anticipated that applications will be received, reviewed and approved for funding by December 2012.

Application forms may be downloaded from:  http://www.EuropeanDiabetesFoundation.org

Upon completion of the Fellowship, the recipient may be invited to present his/her research results at a scientific meeting organised by Lilly.
