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, objectives and goals 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 professionals newsletter and may be invited to present their findings at the annual EULAR congress.
