In line with its strategic plans, the Amsterdam Public Health research institute issues a strategic call for research proposals. The research proposal must fit within the strategic goals of APH and its research programs. The topic and design of the research project should be a logical continuation of previous scientific work of the applicant.
Who can apply?
A postdoctoral researcher (defined as up to 8 years after PhD) affiliated with APH working on project funding and with a temporary position at the VU, Amsterdam UMC or AMR can submit an application for a fellowship.
What can you apply for?
