Travel and research grants at the Faculty of Medicine
Application
The application form is available in the application system for scholarships and grants.
The application is to include a brief but precise statement of the purpose of the trip and its significance for your research. Research students are to attach a certificate from their supervisor.
The following principles apply to the allocation of travel grants:
- Travel grants are primarily awarded to researchers who are nearing the end of their research studies or who have just started their careers as post-doctoral researchers and who intend to visit laboratories abroad to learn new technology, establish valuable research contacts or work on joint projects.
- Applications for travel grants are to be accompanied by a detailed motivation for the study trip as well as a list of published research.
- Research students are to attach a certificate from their supervisor.
- Travel grants are usually not awarded for conference trips.
Decision
The decision on allocation is taken by the board of the Faculty of Medicine.
Payment
Payments to employees of Lund University are made to the applicant’s department. Where applicable, the application should take account of the department’s additional overhead costs. It is appropriate to include these under the heading “other costs”. In such cases, the costs stated in the application are to exclude VAT.
In cases where, according to the statutes of the foundation, grants can also be awarded to activities outside Lund University or to students, and such applications are approved, payment is made to a private bank account or equivalent. In this case, the costs stated in the application are to include VAT.
If the funds have not been used for the purpose for which they were allocated within the timeframe decided, they are to be repaid.
