The EULAR Health Professionals Research Grant
Every year EULAR funds one health professional’s research project in the field of arthritis/rheumatism that is in line with the mission, goals and strategies of EULAR.
Projects will be funded up to a maximum of EUR 30,000.
Recipients of a research grant must submit a mid term report to the Scientific Committee of the EULAR Health Professionals on the progress of the research project.
After completion of the project the recipients must report to the EULAR Executive Committee on the results achieved. Furthermore the recipients are expected to present their project in the EULAR health professional’s newsletter and may be invited to present at the annual congress.
The application process
Applicants must complete the official application form (including detailed budget), and include the full CV of the project leader as well as a project plan (for further instructions see the official application form).

Applications will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee of the EULAR Health Professionals in early 2009. Applicants will be informed by e-mail.
The following evaluation criteria will be applied:
- Scientific value
- Implementation and relevance for EULAR Health Professionals (i.e., how the project may improve the non-pharmacological management of patients in a short and/or long-term perspective, and/or whether the project may foster the development of a research network of relevance for the future beyond the period of the project)
- Quality of the work plan and methods
- Feasibility of the study within the planned timeframe
- Patient centred approach (if applicable, please specify the following):
