Gender in Research Fellowship

To realize quality health care, a sex and gender dimension needs to be integrated in all aspects of health research and clinical practice. In the final week of the Erasmus Summer Programme (ESP), ESP and ZonMw offer a joint programme to further knowledge and skills in gender, health and research through the Gender and Health course (course code ESP78) and Gender in Research workshops (course code ESP79).

The ZonMw Gender and Health Knowledge Program will provide Gender in Research Fellowships for (inter)national PhD-students and post-doctoral researchers to attend the Gender and Health course and participate in the Gender in Research workshops at the Erasmus Summer Programme from 17-21 August in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

The total funds available for this funding opportunity is € 40,000, enough to fund approximately 20 fellowships valued at max. € 2,000 each.
ZonMw will pay the registration fees (valued at up to € 1,000) as well as arrange accommodation including breakfast at The Student Hotel in Rotterdam from 16-22 August 2020 (valued at € 360) for each successful applicant directly with the respective parties. These costs are part of the awarded € 2,000 and will therefore reduce the amount available for additional expenses. The following additional expenses are considered eligible for funding received through this funding opportunity:

• Travel for applicant
• Visa expenses (if applicable)

Eligible candidates

• Applicants for the Gender in Research Fellowship must be registered in a doctoral programme or be at the post-doctoral degree stage.
  • Applicants at the post-doctoral stage can only apply within 5 years after completing their PhD.
• This funding opportunity is open to Dutch as well as non-Dutch applicants. Applicants do not need to be registered in a Dutch doctoral programme and/or residing in The Netherlands to apply for this fellowship.
• It is mandatory for Gender in Research Fellowship recipients to attend both the ESP Gender and Health course (course code ESP78) and the Gender in Research workshops (course code ESP79).
• Recipients of an Erasmus Summer Programme Fellowship are not eligible for a Gender in Research Fellowship.

Budget

The maximum funded amount for the fellowship is € 2,000. Additional costs for attending the ESP Gender and Health course and Gender in Research workshop are at the recipient’s own expense.
