Stipends researchers
Stipends for graduated academics for the execution of oncological research at a foreign university or research institute.
The Nijbakker-Morra Foundation has stipends for researchers – graduate academics – to compensate for travel and subsistence costs at a foreign university or research institute for the execution of oncological research there. Preferably, one stays at least a few months at a renowned cancer institute, to answer a clearly framed (sub)research question. The researcher is preferably a PhD candidate or a postdoc who is still at the beginning of his/her research career. We also encourage doctors who combine their training with (PhD) research to respond.
