Travel Grants
NEUBIAS will offer competitive Travel Grants to a number of the Trainees applicants affiliated to institutions in COST member countries or Near-Neighbour Countries or approved European RTD Organisations (check definitions in COST Vademecum here). Please check in the application form how to apply for those grants by filling the additional fields enabling to submit a justification. We typically provide less than 1/3 of the grant applications received, so any documented information provided to demonstrate why you need a travel grant is important for us to fully assess your request. The grants are supported by COST (funding body of the NEUBIAS Action). Eligibility and reimbursement modalities will follow the criteria/general COST policies (check the Vademecum here). Granted trainees will be notified before June 30th. Please be aware that grants can only be executed AFTER the Training School (daily signature on attendance sheets compulsory for grantees). The grants are attributed at a fixed rate (TBD) to cover for travel and accommodation.
Selection Criteria (for all, including granted Trainees):
Trainees will be selected strictly on the basis of their scientific motivations, as described in their motivation letter. Upon selection, NEUBIAS will seek proof of the candidates status as "early career investigator" and of being actively working on the project(s) as described in the motivation letter. Gender balance and geographical distribution will be taken into consideration according to COST policies, and only after pre-selection of eligible/suitable candidates and in the case that applicants are too numerous as compared to the number of available seats. Evaluations of the applications is operated by "double anonymous" (no mention to name, institution, country) review by the Training Schools Evaluation Committee of NEUBIAS.
