Dekker grants

The Dutch Heart Foundation awards personal Dekker grants to support clinical and non-clinical researchers in different stages of their careers. Internal support is provided to researchers from both locations of Amsterdam UMC (AMC and VUmc). This support is coordinated by the Amsterdam UMC Research Grant Support (RGS) together with the ACS research institute.

Please note that the Hartstichting includes a condition for financing as of the 2023 Dekker grant round: the Hartstichting only finances projects that other parties do not finance.
